ITP Support Association
Offers information and support for sufferers of Immune (Idiopathic) Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). Publications are available for patients, doctors, dentists and schools. A telephone network of sufferers, e-pals and pen pals provides support and encouragement to those who need it, since the rarity of the disease often creates an acute sense of isolation.

Medicine Guide for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Medicine Guides provide reliable information about medicines (drugs), conditions and the different treatment options available. They have been developed in the UK as part of the Medicines Information Project.
