World Haemochromatosis Awareness Week will take place this year from 1-7th June 2024. We are seeking your help! If you have any media contacts or know of TV or sports personalities who can endorse our campaign, we would be delighted to hear from you. Our mission as always will be to promote early diagnosis of haemochromatosis and educate and raise awareness of Ireland’s most common genetic disorder. You could also set up an information stand, do an interview on local radio or like and share our social media posts and stories.
We will also have a number of public buildings and monuments lit up red to highlight the campaign. We welcome your suggestions and ideas for promoting awareness during this important week. Email [email protected]
Come along to our next patient information event in Sligo on Wednesday 8th May at 7.30pm in the Glasshouse Hotel, Sligo. All are welcome to attend this free in-person event. We look forward to seeing you all there. For more information email – [email protected]
Our Members’ AGM takes place on Saturday 13th April 2024, with Guest Speakers Professor Geraldine McCarthy, Consultant Rheumatologist, Mater Hospital Dublin and Clinical Nurse Specialist, Fiona Colclough, Beaumont Hospital Dublin. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the day!
