* Work in partnership with patients and families to initiate effective prophylaxis and facilitate optimal independence and self-management.
* Liaise with a variety of professionals to ensure all surgical or invasive procedures for patients with bleeding disorders are effectively coordinated, treatment administered as required, and monitoring bloods obtained. Provide education to ward staff and support patient journey throughout.
* Provide formal and informal education to patients and staff.
* Contribute to MDT meetings, team formulation meetings, and educational or complex case discussions.
