Haematology Liverpool, our Clinical Haematology service, provide inpatient, outpatient and day case care to people with inherited or acquired bleeding disorders. We are a UKHCDO recognised adult Haemophilia Comprehensive Care Centre (CCC) and a EAHAD designated European Haemophilia Comprehensive Care Centre (EHCCC).
We diagnose and treat:
- Haemophilia A
- Haemophilia B
- Von Willebrand disease
- Rare clotting factor deficiencies
- Platelet function disorders
- Acquired coagulation disorders, including acquired haemophilia.
We also manage related issues, such as joint problems, HIV and hepatitis, women’s health, pregnancy, and psychosocial issues in dedicated specialist clinics. We work closely with the haemophilia team at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital for adolescents transitioning to adult care.
We offer a home delivery service for our patients on home treatment. We also coordinate haemophilia treatment before and after surgery, procedures, or dental treatment.

Referrals from Primary Care
Referrals from colleagues in primary care must be sent through the Haematology Referral Assessment Service (RAS) available on the NHS e-referrals system. Referrals will be triaged by a clinical member of the team and allocated to an appropriate clinic. As a patient, you will then be contacted with an offer of an appointment following this.
In some circumstances, we will contact you to have further investigations (such as blood tests) following the referral. In these circumstances the patient may be discharged with advice or may be booked into a clinic for review.
Referrals from other specialists
Referrals are received by letter from colleagues within the Trust or other providers (for example other Haematology Teams or transfer of care from other Haemophilia Centres). These referrals are reviewed by a clinician before allocating to the most appropriate clinic and an offer of an appointment being sent to you.
