The Aims of the Haemochromatosis Society

+ To support people with GH. by providing help with their problems and ensuring that their relatives are tested in due time. The quarterly newsletter provides news and views from members in the UK, and around the world. Opportunities to meet other members living nearby are arranged if they wish. 

+ To promote AWARENESS among the health professions, patients and their families, the general public and policy makers so that the condition may be diagnosed and treated in time. There is also a need to overcome the misconceptions that GH. is rare, that only middle-aged men are at risk, and women are seldom affected until menopause. 

+ To encourage and support RESEARCH, and provide resource material for the allied medical professions. The Society keeps up to date on the latest studies.
