We are one of the leading specialist centres for non-malignant haematology with nationally renowned expertise in the investigation and management of red cell disorders.

This is provided by our specialist medical team, clinical nurse specialists, dedicated clinical psychologist and services provided jointly with other specialties in the hospital, such as endocrine, kidney and liver experts, and maternity services.
