Oral contraceptives and progesterone containing intrauterine devices are now available to women with haemophilia through the Long-Term Illness scheme, to manage heavy menstrual bleeding caused by a diagnosis of haemophilia. Currently, under the Free Contraception Contract Scheme, launched in September 2022, free contraception is currently available for women 17-26 years.
The National Coagulation Centre at St James’s Hospital welcomes this update to the Long-Term Illness Scheme.
