Haemophilia and thrombosis patient information

COVID-19 update

Our Haemophilia Services are reviewing patients in person, as usual.

Clinic appointments are limited: if you are not able to attend your scheduled appointment, please let us know as early as possible so we can offer it to someone else.

If we need to rebook your clinic appointment, you may have to wait several months for another date.
