Amputee support group

We run a monthly amputee peer support group in collaboration with the Limbless Association, which takes place on the first Friday of each month.

This group provides new and established amputees with the opportunity to come together and talk about their personal experiences of life after an amputation, discussing what they’ve found to be helpful, with a shared understanding and support each other. 

Family and carers are also welcome to attend.

For information please email us, or call us on 020 7794 0500 ext 39963. Before you make enquiries, please ensure you download and read our privacy policy for this group.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) support group

The IBD group is a peer-led group arranged by the support hub and co-facilitated with Royal Free London psychologies team (a trainee clinical psychologist).

It provides an opportunity for group members to meet and share experiences with other people who have a form of IBD, sharing learning and supporting each other.

We have also provided past grants to help hospital teams set up support groups at the Royal Free London. 

Please contact your clinical team to find out if they offer a support group appropriate for you. You can also contact our support hub if you’d like help looking for potential groups locally.
