Fantastic sessions at our Women & Girls with Bleeding Disorders Information Day at the weekend! 💜

Our speakers — Dr. Kevin Ryan, Ms. Shona Brady, Dr. Beatrice Nolan and Dr. Madeleine Daly — explored important aspects of women’s health across the life stages, from menstruation and childbirth to menopause.

The sessions were highly interactive, with attendees encouraged to ask questions, share their experiences and take part in the discussions.

We were also delighted to see our children’s programme being just as interactive and fun! The girls learned about periods, physical activity and sport, and got creative designing their own tote bags. 🎨👜

A big thank you to all our speakers, attendees, volunteers and everyone who helped make the day such a success.
