Clinical Haematology
Clinical Haematology provides diagnosis and treatment of blood
disorders, including haematological malignancies. In-patient, day
case and outpatient services are provided at the Countess of

facilities for day case patients undergoing most tests used in
investigative medicine. Medical staff are supported by a Staff
Grade Doctor and two highly experienced trained Nurse
specialists.
The unit has three main functions:
- Clinic Area (Clinics are also provided by visiting medical
staff, e.g. Oncology clinic)
- Medical Day Case Treatment e.g. chemotherapy, bone marrow
examination, venesection
- Programmed Investigation Unit e.g. Endocrine tests
