Adult Workshop Weekend 2015

Come join us for a great weekend!

This year in beautiful Wellington we had one of the largest ever adult education workshops. It was great to have such a range of people with bleeding disorders and their partners gathered together from all over the country. 

An interesting range of topics were discussed including:

  • Richard Chambers chatting about Bleeding Disorder Care in NZ 
  • Dr Julia Phillips taking a workshop on Haemophilia Care 
  • B.J. Ramsay taking a workshop on von Willebrand and Platelet Disorders
  • Pharmac coming in to give us information and answer questions about the proposed changes to the way treatment products are funded
  • Haemophilia Nurse Helen Dixon talked about using ultrasound to diagnose early arthropathy 
  • Counsellor Rosemary Nourse leading a session on communicating with family and friends
  • And some interesting sessions from our Outreach Workers: Sarah Elliot, Linda Dockrill, Joy Barrett, and Lynne Campbell.

Something for everyone. 

A big thank you to all our participants, speakers, and staff for a very positive weekend.
