The TTP and platelet disorder support group provides a safe space to talk to others, share experiences or simply listen. The group is facilitated by a support and information specialist and a clinical nurse specialist.  

 

Who can join the group?

During the first hour and 15 minutes, a clinical nurse specialist and a support and information specialist facilitate the group. After that, you’ll have another
30 minutes to keep talking together.
