We are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support for individuals with bleeding disorders.
We take care of children and adults with Haemophilia, Von Willebrand’s disease, Platelet disorders and other rare acquired and inherited coagulation disorders.
Our commitment to excellence in haematology care is rooted in a tradition of experience, innovation and compassion. We offer a wide range of services for adults and children.
Collaborating closely with other specialists, we ensure that patients receive comprehensive care addressing their unique medical and psychosocial needs. We have a team of haematologists, highly trained nurses and physiotherapist, and specialised biomedical scientists.
We develop tailored treatment plans, which may include clotting factor replacement therapy, for each patient to ensure the best possible care. Our dedicate operations manager, admin team and homecare pharmacist, ensure that our patients receive their treatments at home.
We provide patient and family education on managing their condition, including how to recognise and manage bleeding episodes.
You can find out more about our team on our app: My Haemophilia Centre, available on the Apple store and Google play store.
General Practitioners (GPs) play a vital role in identifying patients who may have bleeding disorders, especially those who present with symptoms like easy bruising. If you encounter a patient with unexplained or frequent bruising or bleeding, it is essential to consider the possibility of an underlying bleeding disorder, either inherited or acquired.
A combination of the following key indicators may prompt a referral to The Royal London Haemophilia Centre:
If you suspect your patient may have a bleeding disorder, please carry out the following blood tests: full blood count, clotting screen (PT and APTT), fibrinogen levels, liver function tests and iron studies.
Please also carry out an ISTH Bleeding assessment tool which can be found on the Practical Haemostasis website. If your patient has an abnormal score and/or abnormal blood test results, please send a referral to us through the “Advice and Guidance portal”. If you are unsure whether to refer a patient or have any questions about referring a patient to our centre, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us through Advice and Guidance.
We advise all patients with bleeding disorders to take Tranexamic acid if they have bleeding symptoms and would be grateful if this is on their repeat prescription. The dose is 1gr TDS for adults. They should not take it in case of haematuria.
