HFA now has a podcast

Bleeding Disorders & Beyond is a brand new podcast being produced by Haemophilia Foundation Australia for the Australian bleeding disorders community. The podcast features interviews from community members and health professionals on a range of topics, including new and emerging treatments.

A podcast has been on the cards for years – we know many of our community members would love to be able to listen to our content on their commute or while on the move –and now you can!

Currently four episodes are available on the podcast:

• Steve’s experience having gene therapy for haemophilia A
• Dom on having gene therapy for haemophilia A – and it being unsuccessful
• Prof Cedric Hermans on new haemophilia treatments (and more)
• Gene therapy: ‘Ask me Anything’ with Dr Michiel Coppens

‘I have much less pain now. I still get some residual arthritic pain, particularly in my elbows, but I’m not getting breakthrough bleeds. I’m more mobile than ever. I’m a bit more ‘free of mind’ as well around thinking, “what do I need to do? When’s my next dose due?”’ – Steve on successfully receiving gene therapy for haemophilia.

‘I won’t see the success of it, but I know someone else will.’ – Dom explains how he can still feel positive despite his gene therapy being unsuccessful.

The podcast is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or wherever you choose to listen.
