The Hepatitis C Trust will host the next Infected Blood Support and Information Group (open to anyone in the Infected Blood Community) on Tuesday May 17th 2022, from 5pm – 6.30pm.
This friendly, informal and confidential group is there to offer support, information and updates about any infected blood issues – eg the ongoing Infected Blood Inquiry, compensation framework, the blood support schemes and accessing counselling and psychological support, as well as supporting you with anything that the physical, mental and emotional effects of being infected/or affected by a hepatitis C infection can cause.
This next meeting will cover all of the above, but we would welcome other suggestions for the agenda if there are specific subjects or issues people would like to discuss or find out more about.
It will be facilitated by Sam May and Susan Stretch from the Hepatitis C Trust Helpline, both of whom have had hepatitis C themselves.
Places will be on a first come, first served basis, but if it is over-subscribed, applicants will be placed on a waiting list and notified if there are any last minute cancellations. In order to secure a place for this, please register your interest in attending as soon as possible by emailing Sam at helpline@hepctrust.org.uk
You will then be sent a confirmation email, agenda and Zoom instructions.
A separate reminder will be sent nearer the time, before we send the actual meeting link.
This helps us to ensure full capacity, but if someone needs to drop out nearer the time, it will also us to offer a last minute place to others who may be on the waiting list.
