Haematology

What we do

We provide specialist diagnostic investigations and treatment for a wide range of blood, bone marrow and spleen disorders.

We treat all types of anaemia, platelet disorders, polycythaemia (high red cell count), iron metabolism disorders such as haemochromatosis (iron overload) and abnormal white cell counts.

Our service also offers specialist transfusion advice for pregnant women, patients with special requirements and patients who refuse blood products.
