Haematology Department

What we do

The unit provides a comprehensive service for haematology patients.  We diagnose and treat blood diseases, including malignancies, bleeding and thrombotic disorders, anaemias, haemoglobinopathies and haemolytic disorders.

The unit includes the national stem cell transplantation centre, specialising in autologous, sibling and unrelated allogeneic procedures for disorders, including the chronic and acute leukaemias, myeloma and lymphomas.
