When conditions are rare, even healthcare professionals fail to recognise them. This episode discusses some of the struggles that people living with rare blood disorders can experience when trying to get medical care. How do we improve awareness of these conditions among healthcare professionals? How do we get doctors to listen to us? What specialist services are available? What do you do if you suspect you have a rare blood disorder but doctors aren’t seeing it?  

Guests: 

  • Julia, parent of a child with Fanconi Anaemia
  • Virginia, living with PNH
  • Cameron, living with Shwachman Diamond Syndrome
