AGENDA

Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Patient Day. Saturday 22nd September 2018 'World CML Day'.

Organised by Professor Mhairi Copland on behalf of the NCRI CML Sub-Group.

The UK annual CML Patient Day is open to everyone affected by chronic myeloid leukaemia whether as a patient, carer, family member or friend and provides  an opportunity to listen to talks from national and international medical experts in CML, and to interact with others living with CML.  The day caters for both newly diagnosed patients and those who have had CML for many years. We will cover a range of topics and also include a number of   sessions   that   provide   help   and   information   regarding   the   practical   and financial aspects of living with CML.

The day is a great opportunity to meet CML expert clinicians and other CML patients in an informal setting. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions throughout the day.
