You are invited to join the 1st virtual, international MPN Awareness event on Thursday 10th September, which is being hosted by the MPN Austria Selbshilfegruppe (Patient Organization), a MPN patient support group based in Austria.

This virtual event is being held in two sessions, one is pre-recorded and one will be a live session, full details for this international event and the MPN Austria Selbshilfegruppe can be found here mpnaustria.com/en/

The goals of this online event are:

•To ensure that patients are not feeling they are being left alone with their issues and problems

•To inform and update patients on the latest trends in MPN

•To enable patients to have an inter-exchange with leading haemato-oncologists in English and German in PV, ET and MF

•To attract the attention of authorities and media to the issues of MPN patients

•To give better understanding on this illness in the population

Fantastic presentation- many thanks to all the organizers and the Austrian MPN selbsthilfegruppe

Enjoyed the music too!

Unfortunately l kept losing sound during Claire Harrison’s round table and dropped out near the end but nevertheless it was excellent. Highly recommend people watch online once made available as it covered many of our regular themes

Hi Maz, I dont suppose there is a recording of the round the table for ET in English? I did sign up for this and had submitted a couple of questions. Unfortunately my invite link to the round table disappeared from my mail. Thank you!

[Mazcd Partner MPNVoice in reply to EmeraldA]

Hi EmeraldA, I have been informed that the recordings will be available on the MPN Austria Selbshilfegruppe YouTube channel at the end of Sep, they will let me know when they are available. Best wishes, Maz
