Our haematology department provides a comprehensive clinical and laboratory diagnostic service. Our team has expertise in haemato-oncology (blood cancer), stem cell transplantation, haemostasis and thrombosis, general consultative and diagnostic haematology.

We also work closely with our child health teams to help with diagnosing and caring for children with haematological problems, and with immunology to provide highly specialist diagnostic services.

We provide a comprehensive service for haemophilia patients covering Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and parts of Dorset. The service is supported by a team of highly skilled clinical nurse specialists trained in leukaemia and myeloma, transplantation, haemostasis and thrombosis, haemoglobinopathy and transfusion medicine.

Patients having intensive chemotherapy for haematological malignancy or transplantation are looked after in a 21-bed specialist unit (ward C6L), and a six-bed teenage and young adult (TYA) unit. Haematology patients who are having day-case treatments or review are seen on the haematology day unit (C7).

We perform cell collection and plasma exchange in a dedicated regional specialist suite on C7 ward, through the Wessex blood and marrow transplant unit (WBMTU).
