Hughes APS Trust

The Hughes APS Trust (formerly GHIC) was founded by expert doctors and researchers to educate, raise awareness, and fund vital research into Hughes Syndrome.

We rely entirely on donations to continue our life-changing work. Thank you for your support! We are proud to now be the Hughes APS Trust (formerly Graham Hughes International Charity, GHIC). Our new name marks an exciting new chapter — but our mission stays the same. We work to raise awareness, educate patients, doctors, and the wider public, and fund vital research to improve diagnosis, treatment, and care for people living with Hughes Syndrome (APS). Hughes Syndrome (APS) is a serious autoimmune disorder that can cause blood clots, pregnancy loss, strokes, and other life-threatening complications. Too often, it goes undiagnosed or misunderstood. Together, we can change that. We rely 100% on donations to power everything we do. Every gift you make helps to fund education, raise life-saving awareness, and drive research that brings hope to people with APS around the world. Please donate today and be part of building a better future for everyone affected by APS. Thank you for standing with us!

🎉 Happy Birthday to Professor Graham Hughes! 🎉

Today we celebrate Prof. Hughes’ birthday — and also a defining moment in medical history.

42 years ago, in 1983, Prof. Hughes and colleagues published the landmark papers that first described the clinical syndrome now known as Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS or Hughes Syndrome). These early publications documented the association between lupus anticoagulant and later anticardiolipin antibodies. With blood clots, stroke, and pregnancy loss establishing APS as a distinct autoimmune condition.

This groundbreaking work transformed patient care globally and continues to save lives today.

We are also honoured to share photos of Prof. Hughes receiving his MBE at Windsor Castle, presented by The Prince of Wales, Prince William, in recognition of his outstanding services to Lupus and Hughes Syndrome.

Happy Birthday, Prof. Hughes — and thank you for everything you have given to the APS community.

👋 Hello everyone — and sorry for the delay in sharing this! We've been busy behind the scenes getting our new website ready, and we can’t wait to show you more very soon.

📢 Unfortunately, there isn’t a recording of the recent Ten Topics event — we know many of you were hoping to catch up afterwards.

However, we’re pleased to share some images from the day 📸, and we hope they offer a glimpse into the fantastic discussions and learning that took place.

📝 Good news — Professor Hughes will be writing a blog post summarising the key points from the event, which we’ll be sharing soon!

Looking ahead, we hope future events like this can be recorded, allowing us to share the insights more widely with our patients and supporters.

Thank you for your understanding 💜
