Haematology facilities
The specialist medical and nursing team operate across all four of our hospital sites. We have two dedicated inpatient haematology wards. As well as a dedicated haematology day unit in our Clinical Haematology Centre, this is based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB).
Our centre is the only one in the Midlands to offer CAR-T therapy, which is one the newest forms of cancer treatments and works by training the immune system to destroy cancer.
The Centre also holds outpatient clinics and a state-of-the-art apheresis suite (a process in which stem cells are collected).
The stem cell processing facilities are based at NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT), which is just a short walk away from the Clinical Haematology Centre at QEHB. It is home to one of the UK's largest adult stem cell transplant programmes providing complex care and research for adults with haematological cancers.
We also have outpatient clinics and day case treatment units based at our Heartlands, Good Hope and Solihull Hospitals.
