What is it?

Haemophilia is a genetic disorder characterised by ineffective blood clotting, which leads to a tendency to bleed.

Our staff can help you by:

• Monitoring health and providing advice
• Teaching you and your family how to manage your haemophilia
• Administering factor products and teaching how to administer them
• Giving treatment which facilitates early discharge from hospital after surgery
• Providing emotional support for you and your family
• Working in partnership with your health care team.

We have several Haemophilia Resource Nurses based in each region.
