Sue Pavord is a Consultant Hematologist at Oxford University Hospitals, UK and is President-Elect of the British Society for Haematology. She is also associate senior lecturer in medicine at St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford, and fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists and Royal College of Physicians. She specializes in all areas of general haematology with particular interest in Obstetric Hematology, Haemostasis & Thrombosis, Immunohaematology and Transfusion Medicine.
Sue was a key player in the identification and description of Vaccine-induced immune thrombosis and thrombocytopenia (VITT) as a new syndrome occurring after COVID-19 vaccination. She chaired the UK Expert Haematology Panel, providing support for clinicians through daily MDTs, and assisted the UK’s response to this life-threatening complication of vaccine, reducing morbidity and mortality in affected individuals and preventing further cases.
She led national consensus guidance on the management of adults with new and relapsed immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) during the COVID-19 pandemic and is a pioneer in Obstetric Haematology, having helped shaped this as a formal subspecialty through research and education. Her authorship of national and international guidelines in many complex areas of haematology highlights her pragmatic approach, and focus on planning, anticipation and attention to detail.
