The ITP Support Association

The ITP Support Association is a UK registered charity which aims to promote and improve the general welfare of patients, and the families of patients, with immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura.

We have supported this group since 2006.

We gave a Medical Fellowship grant of £1,500 to support the ITP Support Association's Annual Convention and Seminar held on 13-14 April 2007.
