The Society offers educational grants each year to people with haemophilia or related bleeding disorders, and/or their immediate family members who go on to do a post second level educational course.

Blood Health 2020

We are delighted to have worked with Health News on their Blood Health campaign once again this year.

A printed publication was enclosed within every copy of the Irish Independent and the content is available online here.

The campaign featured exclusive content from key thought leaders and industry voices about the impact of Covid-19 on haematology patients, malignancies, thrombosis and more 

You can read Brian O’Mahony's piece on how the long-cherished hope of seeing gene therapy for haemophilia is now visible on the horizon, here.

EHC Leadership Conference 2020

Despite the challenges presented by Covid-19, it is important we come together as a community to exchange and engage on shared issues and challenges.

With that in mind, the EHC is organising its Leadership Conference 2020 online this year.

The objective of the EHC Leadership Conference remains the same –  to provide time to discuss the issues that matter to you and to benefit from each other’s strengths, experiences and best practices, as well as to still do it so with the usual interactive and engaging elements to the extent possible.

Registration is free and it takes place online over three days - 25, 26, 27 June 2020.

The programme is below and if you are interested in attending, please email [email protected]
