Medicine and Me: Living our best life

Examining innovations to deliver optimal care for people with genetic bleeding disorders 

We’re thrilled to be hosting a free event with the Royal Society of Medicine in partnership with leading haematologists and scientists to discuss future care and treatment for people with a genetic bleeding disorder. 

Everyone with an interest in bleeding disorder care, including conditions such as haemophilia and von Willebrand disorder, is welcome to attend.  

Knowledge of genetic bleeding disorders has increased dramatically in the last few decades, resulting in big breakthroughs in treatment and care for many conditions. Today, with gene therapy available on the NHS and safe, effective treatment accessible to most people with a bleeding disorder in the UK, the poor quality of life and low life expectancy once experienced by those affected are a thing of the past, and new technologies underpinned by increasingly sophisticated research and data hold promise for further life-changing developments ahead. 

Join us in person to hear from people with lived experience of a bleeding disorder as well as leading experts in the care and treatment of haemophilia, VWD and other rare disorders as they discuss current best practice, what future care will look like, and how best we meet the needs of the bleeding disorder community.
