Online support events

We organise regular free online events that offer practical and emotional support. Our patient support events are open to anyone affected by aplastic anaemia or PNH from across the UK, including carers and family members. If you have a suggestion for an event, or would like to ask us any questions - do email the support team on [email protected]

These are some of our upcoming events that we'd recommend for people who are receiving treatment for aplastic anaemia, or who are caring for a loved one.
