Glasgow, Scotland
May 17 to 19, 2018
One hundred and fourteen participants from 88 countries attended the 10th Global NMO Training in Glasgow, Scotland. A record number of 24 youth delegates—funded by the WFH Youth Fellowship Program and the Susan Skinner Memorial Fund Scholarship—also attended. Plenary sessions included best practices by NMOs, novel therapies in bleeding disorders, and an overview of the WFH World Bleeding Disorder Registry (WBDR). Through interactive workshops, participants learned about fundraising, VWD, building relationships and alliances with different stakeholders, and how to lead volunteer development. A Humanitarian Aid session was also held, along with youth sessions and a workshop on the WFH In-Hemo Action playing cards. The latter event allowed delegates to interact with local children with a bleeding disorder and their parents.
