In this issue we explore what’s possible in bleeding disorders – from the impact of new treatments in haemophilia to exploring life as a teenager with a bleeding disorder or an adult with a rare disease like Type 3 VWD. And we announce the details of our upcoming conference – a forum on the very latest information and issues in bleeding disorders.
