Bleeding and clotting disorders clinics

Our service offers several clinics at our hospitals and community locations, as well as a daily walk-in clinic for registered patients.

Outpatient clinics

Our service runs outpatient clinics for the diagnosis and care of patients with haemostatic disorders – inherited and acquired bleeding disorders – and management of thrombotic events.

Weekly haemophilia and bleeding disorders clinics

We hold weekly multidisciplinary clinics on Monday and Tuesday mornings which are attended by a haemophilia consultant, specialist nurse, specialist physiotherapist and junior doctor. These clinics are for patients with haemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders.

A consultant clinic for new patients being investigated for possible bleeding disorders is held on Monday and Tuesday mornings.

Pregnancy clinic

An obstetric haematology clinic is held at Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital on Friday mornings. A consultant haematologist and obstetrician together with a specialist midwife attend this clinic. Women with bleeding disorders or who are carriers or possible carriers of haemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders are seen in this clinic before pregnancy as well as during and after pregnancy. 

Nurse-led haemophilia telephone clinic

Our specialist haemophilia nurses run a weekly phone clinic on Thursday mornings for patients with mild bleeding disorders.

Walk-in service for registered patients

The haemophilia centre at Hammersmith Hospital is open between 09.00 and 17.00, Monday to Friday. This service is for patients with a mild or severe bleeding disorder. Patients should contact the haemostasis clinical nurse specialist before using the walk-in service.

The nursing team will coordinate initial assessment and administer clotting factors if required. You will be reviewed by one of our registrar doctors with support from consultant haematologists.

Patients with other diagnoses who need urgent advice or support should call the renal and haematology triage unit: 020 3313 1255

Transition clinic for young patients with haemophilia

Whilst adult patients with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders are seen at Hammersmith Hospital, there is an established transition programme between the children and adult haemophilia services within the North London Adult Haemophilia Network. This supports young people transitioning to adult services from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) to Hammersmith Hospital.

The process of planning transition can start when the patient is around 12 years old. During transition to adult care, the clinical nurse specialist and/or consultant from Hammersmith Hospital will aim to attend the outpatient appointment at GOSH to meet the patient and their family to facilitate the handover. There will be an opportunity for the young person to visit the haemophilia centre at Hammersmith before their first clinic appointment. Written information including contact details will be provided to young people and their families.

For more information, please contact the haemostasis service via:
