Haematology
We provide care for adult patients with a wide range of haematological conditions.
These include:
- red cell disorders including sickle cell and thalassaemia (both out and inpatient services)
- antenatal screening which includes genetic testing and counselling
- haematological cancer
- anticoagulation
- thrombosis
- transfusion
Making an appointment
Appointments and referrals can be made by you or your GP via The Electronic Referral Service (e-RS). You may also be referred by an internal hospital consultant.
Registered sickle cell patients can either be sent by GP or self refer to the drop-in service available on the Medical Day Unit.

Medical Day Unit (MDU)
The medical day unit operates 0900-1700 on weekdays. Here we see patients for diagnostic tests (bone marrow examinations), planned therapeutic interventions (transfusions, exchange transfusions, intravenous iron, psychology appointments etc) and drop-in reviews of acute pain for registered sickle cell patients in line with their outpatient and pain protocols.
