Quality of life in the balance: Helen Tate on living with Factor V deficiency

Dance teacher and Haemophilia Society trustee Helen Tate talks with Haemnet's Dr Kate Khair about living with Factor V deficiency, a rare bleeding disorder that affects around one in a million people.


Helen leads an active life despite her condition and is a passionate advocate for the rare bleeding disorders community. She discusses diagnosis, coping with bleeds when treatment options are limited, and what she thinks needs to change to improve life for everyone who lives with a rare bleeding disorder.
