Convention 2002

154 people attended the Fourth ITP Support Association Convention at Hinchingbrooke House, Huntingdon. Starting at 10 pm with morning coffee ITP sufferers and families had plenty of time to socialise and talk to the specialists during the day. Seven leading experts from the UK and US talked about their own speciality and joined forces at the the end of the day to take questions from the audience.

The Association is most grateful to its Convention sponsors:- Bio Products Laboratory, Grifols UK Ltd, Bayer plc, Octapharma Ltd, Baxter Healthcare Ltd, ZLB Bioplasma UK Ltd, The Daisy Foundation (US)
