Following her inspiring acceptance presentation, we felt it was high time to feature our usual Haemcast host as a guest!

Luke Pembroke stepped in as the host to delve deep into Kate's remarkable career. From her childhood interest in nursing to the profound moment she first encountered a person with a bleeding disorder, and from her early years at Great Ormond Street Hospital to her journey as a dedicated researcher driven to improve understanding of the lived experiences of those with haemophilia & rare bleeding disorders

In addressing equity, we need to acknowledge the rares within the rare - Haemnet 29/02/2024

"In addressing equity, we need to acknowledge the rares within the rare."

Check out our Director of Community Engagement Luke Pembroke's blog.

Luke discusses the issue of inequity within the bleeding disorders community and shares insights from Haemnet's recent research in ultra-rare bleeding disorders.

In addressing equity, we need to acknowledge the rares within the rare - Haemnet For Rare Disease Day 2024 the theme is “equity.” This is certainly a topic that resonates within the bleeding disorders community, where more and consistent attention needs to be paid to the “rares within the rare”.     For Rare Disease Day 2024 the theme is “equity.” This is certainly...

Gene therapy for haemophilia B in the UK? Hold your horses! - Haemnet 29/09/2023

Gene therapy for haemophilia B in the UK? Hold your horses!

Last month NICE published its draft guidance in response to CSL Behring’s application to commission Hemgenix in the UK through the NHS. This news was met with a level of disappointment within the community – and it certainly got the Haemnet team talking!

Check out our latest blog to read our thoughts on this decision, what it means for people with haemophilia in the UK, and whether NICE’s final guidance will overturn it.

Gene therapy for haemophilia B in the UK? Hold your horses! - Haemnet After years on the track, gene therapy for haemophilia seems to have the home straights firmly in sight. NICE may still decide otherwise.

Did you know it’s Peer Review Week?

This year’s theme is ‘Peer Review and the Future of Publishing’. Among the questions being asked is whether peer review in its traditional form has a future. Long seen as the bedrock of scholarly publishing, could it be more inclusive, more efficient, more transparent?

Peer review plays a huge role in The Journal of Haemophilia Practice, and alternative models of review will be something to consider for our future. Beyond the models, though, we value the individuals who generously share their time and expertise to review manuscripts for us.

So, to mark Peer Review Week 2023, we’d like to say a big thank you to all of our peer reviewers – we can’t imagine a future without you!
