Haematology
Available locations:
Haematology is a branch of medicine involving the study and treatment of blood.
We provide diagnostic services for a full range of red cell and haemoglobin disorders. We also treat and manage these disorders. We have access to drug therapies and regular blood transfusion regimes as required. We work closely with other specialist teams at CHI at Crumlin and provide an advisory service for other clinicians in Ireland. We provide “whole of life care” with our Adult red cell centre at St James to ensure a seamless transition between programmes.
Our team consists of doctors, nurses, psychologist, social worker, physiotherapist, occupational therapists, school teachers, play therapists and laboratory scientists.
We have 4 outpatient clinics per week and a day ward that operates 5 days/week (Monday-Friday 8am-7pm).
We also manage our own inpatient group. We provide clinical leadership for the red cell and blood transfusion laboratories and supervise the Haemovigilance service at CHI at Crumlin.
