Haematology
Overview
Haematology is the study of blood and blood diseases, including common conditions like haemophilia, which impairs the body’s ability to control blood clotting, and anaemia, which is usually caused by a decrease in the number of red blood cells.
Our three hospitals, Barnet Hospital, Chase Farm Hospital, and the Royal Free Hospital, provide a leading range of haematology treatment services in London, from haematology tests to diagnose blood diseases, to blood transfusions for the treatment of blood cancers and other blood disorders.
Our general haematology treatment services deal with the investigation of abnormal blood counts that lead to common conditions like anaemia, low white cells and low platelets.
