When we first asked the nurses at Haemophilia Treatment Centres (HTCs) about the emerging issues related to ageing with a bleeding disorder, they said, ‘Where do we start?’. And indeed, the Haemophilia Foundation Australia Getting Older needs assessment had a lot of ground to cover!
The Getting older with a bleeding disorder needs assessment report has now been completed, the result of many months of intensive work.
HOW TO ACCESS THE REPORT
The full Getting older with a bleeding disorder needs assessment report has been published in print (black and white) and online (full colour).
There will also be a short community report, which is a summary of the findings.
If you would like a print copy of the report, don’t hesitate to contact HFA and we will post you a copy:

You can download the full report from the HFA website here
