    Achalasia Action Meetings

    Talking to others with achalasia is a good way of getting ideas that might help with particular problems.

    Achalasia Action holds regular support meetings, mostly online so that everybody can have access to them. After COVID we aim to re-start some meetings in person.

Meetings

Achalasia Action Group Meetings

Connecting with others with achalasia and talking in small groups, where everyone knows about the condition and the issues involved, can give a range of ideas about how to manage your condition. As achalasia affects people differently this can be useful in providing suggestions which are working for others and that you may want to try.

One of the best ways we have found to support people living with achalasia is through our regular, informal group meetings where you can talk to others with the same condition. These are usually held on the 2nd Sunday of each month online on Zoom, so anyone with achalasia can attend wherever they live.

In addition to our monthly meetings, we hold an online group for parents of children with achalasia which meets about every six weeks. Parents provide support for each other as well as information.

There is also an 18-35 group which meets occasionally on demand.

If you would like to attend any of the above group meetings, please see details and links to register further down this page. 

Other meetings

In-Person Meetings
Our first Achalasia Action group meeting (London Achalasia Meetup Group), was held 16 years ago in-person at the Marriott Hotel, Park Lane in London. These meetings continued until the pandemic when we moved online and realised the huge benefits of Zoom for bringing people with achalasia together. We do understand that some people prefer to meet face to face so we plan to hold the occasional in-person meeting in London this year.

Some people find it helpful to make their own links with others that they see in meetings so that they can act as supportive friends to each other. We are also happy to support those who would like to hold their own in-person meetings in their local area too. Please get in touch if you would like help with starting your own local group:-

Specialist Led Meetings
We occasionally hold larger scale meetings with specialist speakers, with diverse and interesting subjects related to achalasia. These meetings give the opportunity to take part in question and answer sessions. You will receive notifications about the specialist led meetings through the newsletter.
