Genetic haemochromatosis is the UK’s most common – yet under-diagnosed – genetic condition. A typical GP practice will have an average of 15 people affected by haemochromatosis on its list, possibly undiagnosed.

Working in partnership with the Royal College of GPs, Haemochromatosis UK (HUK) has developed training resources & an eLearning module covering genetic haemochromatosis.

To mark the launch of the Royal College of GP’s eLearning module on genetic haemochromatosis, HUK is holding a series of webinars for GPs and other primary care staff.

Based on the RCGP eLearning module, we will be covering :

• What is Genetic Haemochromatosis?
• Clinical features and symptoms
• Genetics
• Testing for family & siblings
• Referral care pathway
• Treatment and ongoing management

General practitioners, practice managers and practice nurses are invited to register for one or more webinars :

• Thursday 29 August at 10:00 – 10:45
• Wednesday 04 September at 13:00 – 13:45
• Tuesday 24 September at 17:00 – 17:45
• Monday 30 September at 10:00 – 10:45
