Jo McIntyre honored with British Empire Medal for 28 years of advocacy and support for TTP patients.
Jo McIntyre has been awarded the British Empire Medal in the King’s New Year Honours for her 28-year advocacy work with Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP), a rare blood disorder.
Diagnosed in 1995, she founded TTPNetwork to reduce isolation and raise awareness about high relapse rates, starting with handwritten newsletters.
The organization, now a registered charity, provides support, educational resources, and influences national treatment guidelines and NHS specialist centers.
Her efforts have shaped healthcare policy and earned recognition, including the 2010 Percy Lane Oliver Award.
