Glasgow Support Group

Our first meeting of the new year is on Monday 8 January from 2pm to 4pm. We meet in the offices of Health Alliance Scotland in the Venlaw Building at 349 Bath Street, G2 4AA (just beside the King's Theatre).

Do come along and meet fellow patients, both current and in remission. I recommend that you give it a go, even if you are not a support group type of person - that was what I thought before getting involved!

Hi Richard, I was diagnosed 14 months ago and have had a couple of flares during this time. I will do my best to attend on 8th January as it will be nice to hear experiences of others with the same health problem. I must say HealthUnlocked has been wonderful and has provided so much helpful information. I only recently discovered there was a Glasgow group.
