Core tracks

Medical track

Featuring more than 50 experts from over 20 countries, the Medical Track will allow you to explore cutting-edge advances in diagnosis, treatment, and the long-term management of bleeding disorders. Sessions will span from large-scale genetic analyses and gene editing innovations to the real-world implementation of gene therapy. Experts will discuss emerging and rare disorders, evolving non-factor and mimetic therapies, and practical clinical challenges from neonatal bleeds to aging patients.

People with Bleeding Disorders (PWBD) track

The PWBD track will highlight the lived experience and evolving needs of people with bleeding disorders, offering a dynamic platform to share experiences, learn, and engage with emerging innovations in care. Covering topics such as access to treatment, digital health, mental health, family planning, aging, and wellness, these sessions will emphasize practical knowledge, shared insights, and patient-centred innovation to improve quality of life and empower the global bleeding disorders community.

Professional Development tracks

Dental track

The Dental track will highlight the unique dental care needs of people with bleeding disorders across their lifespans. Explore women’s and girls’ oral health, transitions from pediatric to adult care, aging, and rare disorders, with a hands-on workshop teaching preventive care, oral hygiene, and bleeding management for patients and caregivers.

Laboratory Sciences track

The Laboratory Sciences track will take you from the fundamentals of hemostasis testing to the latest in advanced diagnostics. Expert-led sessions will explore laboratory approaches to hemophilia, von Willebrand disease (VWD), and platelet disorders, combining classical knowledge with cutting-edge innovations such as gene therapy, novel therapeutics, and next-generation sequencing. This track will include three professional development workshops, including a new hands-on workshop offering practical experience with manual assays, quality control, and platelet and coagulation testing.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) track

The Musculoskeletal track will cover the full spectrum of joint health and function in people with bleeding disorders—from understanding joint pathology and surgical management to imaging, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Sessions will feature updates in diagnostics, pediatric and women’s MSK health, and global access to care. Three hands-on workshops on ultrasound, manual therapy, and strength training will offer practical skills alongside clinical insights.

Nurses track

The Nurses track will underscore the essential role of nurses in the care and treatment of people with bleeding disorders. Sessions will address comprehensive care, including musculoskeletal and oral health assessments, service development, rare bleeding disorders, women’s health, and the application of novel therapies. Take part in the professional development day to gain practical tools, engage in case discussions, and explore strategies to enhance nursing practice, leadership, and patient outcomes worldwide.

Psychosocial track

The Psychosocial track will examine the psychological, social, and cultural dimensions of living with bleeding disorders. Sessions will cover mental health, community and peer support, identity across life stages, caregiver wellbeing, and the psychosocial implications of novel therapies such as gene therapy. Join the Psychosocial Day workshop for hands-on skill building, practical toolkits, and regional networking to learn more about strengthening care worldwide.

Women and Girls with Bleeding Disorders (WGBD) track

The WGBD track will shine a light on an often underserved population, focusing on the unique challenges women and girls face with bleeding disorders. Sessions will cover menstrual health, delayed diagnosis, shared decision-making, bone health, and multidisciplinary care, offering practical tools, case discussions, and strategies to empower patients and improve outcomes across their lifespans.
