Patients and Families are an important part of the EBMT. For the last two year's the EBMT has organised a special Patient and Family Day which strives to bring patients, families and care-givers together in one place to share experiences, to learn from others and to participate in informative and accessible sessions and workshops which are delivered by experts in the fields of their different illnesses.
The EBMT is committed to making its science easily obtainable by patients and their families and is pleased to use this space to announce information regarding the EBMT Patient & Family Day and to create a web resource of presentations that have been delivered at previous EBMT Patient & Family events.
