Abstract

The role of the nurse has evolved enormously in recent years. By way of a descriptive case study, this article highlights the role of the advanced haemophilia nurse specialist. The case study serves as a focal point for discussion of how the extension of this role has enabled the provision of consistent and comprehensive care and support to patients with inherited bleeding disorders.
