See what working in haematology looks like
Haematology brings together clinical medicine, laboratory science, research and long-term patient care.
Malignant haematology
This area focuses on blood and lymphoid cancers, combining diagnosis with inpatient, outpatient and long-term care. Work is multidisciplinary and may include marrow or molecular results, systemic treatment, supportive care, transplantation pathways and clinical trials.
Haemostasis & thrombosis
Teams investigate and manage abnormal bleeding and clotting, from inherited bleeding disorders to venous thromboembolism and anticoagulation. The work moves between clinical history, laboratory interpretation, treatment planning and advice to other specialties.
Red-cell disorders
Red-cell practice includes inherited and acquired anaemias, haemoglobin disorders and disorders of red-cell production or destruction. Care may extend from diagnosis through lifelong follow-up, with close links to transfusion, genetics and community support.
