On the 6 November 2009 King’s Health Partners and SIGOPAC hosted a one day event at the St James’s Institute of Oncology, Leeds, of joint thinking around the role, scope and aims of psychological support services in haematological transplantation. The event consisted of presentations and workshops, and gave specialist health professionals in the field the opportunity to share best practice.
