The KOL Haematology Research and Strategy Forum unites key opinion leaders to advance research, strategy, and resilience in haematology.
About KOL’25
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us for the KOL Haematology Research and Strategy Forum, which will take place at Central Hall Westminster, on 9th May 2025. Organised by Sanius Health, the day focuses on bringing together key clinical leaders, pharmacists, nurses and leaders within the haematology sphere. Our forum brings together key KOLs within every haematology disease area, for sessions focused on knowledge sharing, research insights, building strategies and supporting our colleagues with wellness and resilience to manage the workload pressures.
The KOL Haematology Research and Strategy Forum takes place in close proximity to the Haematology Patient and Carer Congress (HPCC25), creating a unique synergy in the field of haematology. The HPCC25 will draw thousands of haematology patients from across Europe, while the Research and Strategy Forum will host an impressive array of clinical leaders in the field.
Colleagues will have the opportunity to join both the HPCC25 in the morning, and the KOL Research and Strategy Forum in the afternoon, or can of course choose to attend purely one event on the day.
