As 2025 draws to a close, we’re celebrating another remarkable year of growth, collaboration and innovation at touchHAEMATOLOGY.

From thought-provoking expert interviews and peer-reviewed research to dynamic conference coverage and an expanding portfolio of medical education, this year has been defined by meaningful conversations and impactful learning. We’ve had the privilege of engaging with leading clinicians, researchers and partner societies across the globe – bringing together diverse voices to support the haematology community with timely, accessible and authoritative content.

As we reflect on the past 12 months, we’re proud to highlight the moments, milestones and stories that shaped our year.

Here are just some of the standout highlights from 2025.

Conference and news coverage

We’ve been hard at work this year covering leading international conferences, including EBMT, EHA and ASH, highlighting ground-breaking policy and the latest clinical updates.
