In today's episode, we're going to be talking to Dr. Mary Mathias, a consultant haematologist and the Haemophilia Centre Director at Great Ormond Street Hospital. We're going to be talking about haemophilia. In part one, we're going to cover a pathophysiology presentation and diagnosis, and then part two, which will come next week, we're going to cover management complications and prognosis.
