Spleen Australia recently held their first ever consumer webinar, directly aimed at helping Spleen Australia members.
More than 200 people registered for access to important information and guidance presented by expert speakers.
Many of the questions sent in by attendees were around antibiotics, and these and other questions were answered during the session.
Expert guest speakers included Dr. Nenad Macesic, Medical Lead at Spleen Australia, who put the spotlight on understanding the risks that arise from living without a functioning spleen.
Dr Sarah McGuinness covered off recommended vaccines and what's changed recently, travel advice and also answered some of your most asked questions.
Oana Tatucu, Consumer Representative, told her very personal story of having a splenectomy at the age of 20 and how it changed everything for her from that day forward.
Spleen Australia General Manager, Sharon O'Brien, tackled how to recognise the signs and symptoms of onset infection and what to do when it happens and Ella Brown, Spleen Australia Nurse Co-Ordinator, gave insightful information on how Spleen Australia can support you for life after losing your spleen.
