Today on Beyond the Bleeds, John and Heather welcome Andrea Buxton and Erica Brock to explore the critical process of transitioning healthcare for patients with bleeding disorders. Our conversation dives into the stages of transition from pediatric to adult care, community support, and the programs available to ease this process. The discussion emphasizes the challenges patients and their caregivers face and the importance of education in managing chronic conditions.
“Transition is not just about moving from one doctor to another; it’s about learning to manage your own healthcare needs.” – Andrea Buxton
Today on Beyond the Bleeds:
- Transitioning in healthcare involves shifting from pediatric to adult care and independently managing a bleeding disorder.
- Formal transition programs, like Minnesota Treatment Center’s transition day, are crucial in ensuring seamless care.
- The National Hemophilia Program Coordinating Center (NHPCC) aids treatment centers in developing consistent and supportive transition programs.
- Support from parents and caregivers is pivotal, gradually allowing young patients to take on more healthcare responsibilities.
- Quality Improvement (QI) projects include surveying parents to alleviate their anxieties about transitioning responsibilities to their children.
- Integrated primary care within hemophilia centers aims to streamline patient visits and minimize time off work or school.
- A comprehensive booklet and interactive materials help patients understand and manage their bleeding disorders effectively.
- Flexibility in the program accommodates patients’ varying developmental stages, ensuring a tailored approach to transitioning.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
