Club Lunchtime Meeting

Phil Godfrey will talk to the club about Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).

Sometimes known as Hughes syndrome, it is a disorder of the immune system that causes an increased risk of blood clots.

This means people with APS are at greater risk of developing conditions such as:
• deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that usually develops in the leg
• arterial thrombosis (a clot in an artery), which can cause a stroke or heart attack
• blood clots in the brain, leading to problems with balance, mobility, vision, speech and memory.

Stewards: Vivien Gillman, Jackie Crampton, Laurie Day
