Reporting a bleeding episode
Because we aim to offer a high-quality service that provides the best possible outcome for our patients, we want to know about every bleeding episode as soon as possible.
For the team to provide rapid assessment and treatment, it is essential that every bleeding episode is reported as soon as possible , prefeably within 24 hours of onset.
We know that the sooner we can assess and treat a bleed, the better the outcome for our patients. We also know that delayed reporting of bleeds can mean that a patient experiences more pain, may be off work for a longer time or may be at an increased risk of long-term joint damage and disability.
You can report your bleed directly to the Haemophilia Centre by calling 0211954262 or by email.
