'THE PATIENTS CONNECTIONS' organisation researches various aspects of medicine. This UK organisation has recently contacted the HSSA to ask local patients to participate in research on HAEMOCHROMATOSIS AND PHLEBOTOMY. Their invitation to participate is contained in the following message received recently:

"We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to follow up ResBlog on Haemochromatosis. For this round we are concentrating on the area of phlebotomy [venisection]. We are particularly interested in your attitude to phlebotomies and how you might like the process improved. To take part click this link: http://www.thepatientconnections.com/blog.asp?uid=44.
