Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) treatments update

17 June 2021

In this webinar, we will talk about how chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is treated and managed today and what is on the horizon: how is a therapy chosen, prognosis and treatment suitability determined and what level of involvement should patients expect in their care decisions.

The aim of this webinar is to build knowledge and empower patients to become more knowledgeable and confident to become involved in their healthcare discussions and treatment decisions.

The webinar seeks to explain the different types of CML treatments and long term management strategies, who can have a particular therapy or management strategy, how they work and impact on quality of life and daily living.

We will be joined by:

• Professor Adam Mead, Professor of haematology, Churchill Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
• Professor Mhairi Copeland, Professor of Translational Haematology (Paul O’Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre), Glasgow University.
• Joanna Large, ANP & CNS for CML at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
• Melanie Joy Hänni, CML patient
