Haemochromatosis UK Christmas 2024 - Clinician Education Appeal When GP’s, clinicians, and nurses have access to training and information, the outcomes for those with GH can be much better. Hannah received good care from her GP and said, ‘I feel very lucky to have caught it young and avoided the damage haemochromatosis can cause.’ In 2025, we are asking for your support to educate more doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in your local area about genetic haemochromatosis and iron overload. Without vital information on GH, clinicians may miss the warning signs. Chris died in January 2024. He was just 44 years old. His mother told us, ‘Chris had an enlarged spleen, fatty liver, and ferritin of 5,000. [The GP] suspected haemochromatosis, but his hospital referral was not urgent.’ Can you make a donation to help us send haemochromatosis packs to your nearest hospital and GP clinics, and to fund bursaries for nurses’ places at our study days?
