In this episode, host Luke Pembroke (Haemnet's Director of Community Engagement) is joined by community members Dr William McKeown (Geriatrics SpR, Belfast, Northern Ireland) and Randall Curtis (Advocate and Researcher, California, USA) to discuss the potential challenges the bleeding disorder community are set to face with an increasing ageing population.


What co-morbidities can we expect to encounter more often and how should these be managed in people with haemophilia? How can a bleeding disorder exacerbate aspects of frailty? What should we prioritise as a community as we venture into the relatively uncharted territory of ageing people with bleeding disorders? Tune in to the full episode to hear our guests' thoughts and insights on how those with bleeding disorders can age well.
