The AA&MDSIF Patient & Family Conference is now over, as is the jointly held Nurses Conference. Even though this is the first year that a Nurses Conference was held in conjunction with the Patient Conference, it was well attended and both meetings were considered quite successful.

Patients and nurses attended separate sessions on August 3. Patients learned about their diseases and met each other in workshops. Nurses reviewed case studies and learned more about providing medical care for AA, MDS, and PNH patients.

On August 4, patients and nurses jointly attended panel discussions by seven of the world's leading bone marrow failure experts. The panelists gave reports on the latest research and treatments and answered questions posed by audience members in the multi-hour Question & Answer session that followed.
