Looking back on Terence's life: Haemophilia then and now, with Kate Khair

Following our six-part mini-series 'Reflections on a life with severe haemophilia', with Terence O'Rourke, Haemnet's Dr Kate Khair considers some of the things that have changed in haemophilia care during Terence's lifetime – and some of the things that perhaps haven't.


Kate discusses the importance of remembering times when haemophilia treatment wasn't so readily available, getting a diagnosis, treatment decisions, feeling isolated, and the importance of support and understanding.
