Haematology
We are experienced nurses who have developed expertise and have a specialist interest in haematology care. Our aim is to offer you and your carers support both at home and in hospital.
We will try and meet you when you are first diagnosed in the hospital and if you would prefer we can come and visit you in your own home to discuss your diagnosis, treatment, any side effects and answer any questions you may have.
