About the program
On Saturday delegates can participate in the very popular free Pre-Congress workshops and sessions, including sessions for specialist nurses, physiotherapists and social workers. These offer delegates valuable skills and knowledge to integrate into their own work and communities once they return home. Pre-registration is recommended.
Each congress day begins with two plenary sessions led by some of the world's most distinguished researchers, physicians, and community leaders. The plenaries have a focus on current and future treatments, ageing, von Willebrand disorder, mild haemophilia and women.
General sessions will be in 6 concurrent streams and include state-of-the-art symposia, presentations, and 'Meet the Experts' sessions on highly topical issues across a wide range of subjects related to living with bleeding disorders, providing services and care and community development.
