❤️ Our family-focused #Haemcast series with #LFWBD explores what it's really like to live with a bleeding disorder. From treatment choices and challenges, through being the partner of a person with a bleeding disorder, to the support that parents need, there's much to explore — and more coming soon. 🎧 Available across #podcast platforms and via link 🔗 loom.ly/A4UWu6M #bleedingdisorders #haemophilia #vonWillebranddisease#GlanzmannThrombasthenia #families

The#WorldMentalHealthDay theme "Lived experiences heard: Real voices, real change" speaks to us. In our research, people impacted by #bleedingdisorders tell us they need more #mentalhealth support. #Livedexperience can inform positive change in policies, services & care, and helping make the patient voice heard is a core part of why we do what we do. So, who's listening?

💙 10 October is Factor X Deficiency Awareness Day #HXFD is an extremely rare #bleedingdisorder. Diagnosis can be difficult, but early diagnosis and treatment are essential for achieving the best outcomes. We're joining the call to improve diagnosis and ensure global treatment access. Bleeding Disorders: Care & Practice (formerly The Journal of Haemophilia Practice) has published a number of articles on HXFD and its treatment, most recently case studies from India and the Philippines.

💜 Immune Thrombocytopenia or #ITP is a rare autoimmune disease that causes low platelet counts, which means it's harder for the blood to clot. This can lead to easy bruising, bleeding, and fatigue, and we've learned in our research about the day-to-day impacts this can have. 💜 21-27 September is Global ITP Awareness Week, and we're joining the ITP community worldwide to advocate for education, research, and support to help improve life for people living with ITP. #Global4ITP #ITPawareness #Purple4Platelets

300 million people globally live with #hepatitis, and hepatitis B & C kill over 1.3 million each year. This includes people impacted by contaminated blood. We're joining the #WorldHepatitisDay 2026 call to break down barriers that slow the global response to hepatitis. Inequities in access to healthcare, racial inequality, discrimination against women, low awareness, misinformation and stigma... Let's break it down. #WorldHepatitisDay
