Dear Colleagues,

Very warm greetings from the Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders-Asia Pacific (AHAD-AP).

AHAD-AP is planning for a virtual workshop on Advanced Comprehensive Care of Haemophilia (CCH) over 2 sessions on 18th May 2024 and 01st June 2024, focusing on Clinical and Laboratory on the first session (18th May) and Nursing and Musculoskeletal management of haemophilia on the second session (01st June).

Our aims for the workshop are to strengthen and broaden knowledge and skills in diagnosis, assessment and care planning for people with haemophilia (PWH) by a comprehensive care team. The target audience are clinicians, nurses and allied healthcare professionals involved in haemophilia care from across the Asia Pacific region.

In response to recent feedback on our virtual meetings, we have planned short “sharp” sessions with emphasis on core principles of haemophilia management and opportunities for discussion.
