We provide a safe environment with Covid 19 measures remaining in place to protect our often vulnerable patients. We encourage visitors by booking appointments and will involve them in your care as you wish.
We aim to provide high quality care to anyone requiring investigation or having treatment for a haematological cancer. This involves the multi-disiplinary team facilitating a timely diagnosis and decision making of treatment. Our team provides evidence based anti-cancer treatments in the form of chemotherapy as well as specialist palliative care and psychological support. We actively support the improvement of cancer care by working closely with the clinical research team.
We facilitate the development of individual team members, creating a positive learning environment. We also have strong links with University Hospital Southampton, the regional cancer centre.
