A series of informal conversations with members of the MPN community.
As we were unable to meet face-to-face with patients at forums during the Covid lockdowns, we started a series of vlogcasts, with Nona co-chair of MPN Voice and a MPN patient herself. She will be having conversations with MPN patients, to hear how they manage and live with their MPN, and with healthcare professionals who treat MPN patients, to hear how they diagnose and treat their MPN patients in their clinics.
The vlogcasts can be viewed on the MPN Voice YouTube channel. Please send any feedback and questions to info@mpnvoice.org.uk.
