Saturday 9th August saw a very special gathering in Birmingham, as over 100 PHA UK members came together for a day of learning, connecting, and celebrations.
Together25 was held at the Edgbaston Park Conference Centre and Hotel to mark the 25th anniversary of our charity. Patients from across the UK’s specialist centres attended with loved ones, and many new friendships were formed.
Talented singer and PHA UK member Jen Bardsley-Taylor performed during arrivals, and a packed agenda saw an engaging mix of expert talks and lived experience panels – with patients and family members sharing their stories live on-stage. Attendees heard about the role of Artificial Intelligence in PH care, how research is helping patients manage their mental health, and the latest in new drug development. They had the chance to hear from experts in interactive Q&A sessions, and a delicious lunch was enjoyed by all.
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended, and especially those who took part in our lived experience panels. We’re grateful to everyone who contributed to the event by providing raffle prizes, getting involved in the Q&A sessions, or engaging with other attendees. We’re a very special community and Together25 proved that more than ever!
