Our Clinical Haematology Team investigates and treats both malignant and non-malignant diseases of the blood and bone marrow, as well as bleeding and clotting problems.
Most clinics and outpatient treatments take place in the Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre. Although this is a cancer centre, patients with non-malignant (not cancer) conditions are also seen here.
Patients with certain non-malignant conditions are seen and treated on the Medical Day Unit. As well as offering consultant clinics, our highly-skilled team members also run nurse-led and pharmacist-led clinics.
Inpatient care is based on a special area of Oakdale Ward, shared with the Acute Stroke Unit. Patients requiring intensive chemotherapy, which is offered for a variety of conditions and reasons such as acute leukaemia or bone marrow transplant, are transferred to St James’s University Hospital in Leeds.
