The skin lymphoma service at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB) is one of only a few supra regional centres in the UK, meaning we will see, treat and monitor patients from a wide geographical area, often extending past the Midlands.
The aim of the service is to provide our patients with specialist care and access to a clinical nurse specialist (CNS). We provide specialist knowledge and support for all patients and their families throughout the diagnosis, treatment and ongoing monitoring.
We understand that a diagnosis can be difficult and will provide verbal and written information about your diagnosis and ongoing support strategies as well as treatment options along the way.
We provide a range of services including:
- joint specialist team clinics
- designated radiotherapy team
- specialist nurse-led telephone clinics
- skin care advice and guidance
- varied treatment options.
- participation in innovative research
- local, national and international teaching
Our multidisciplinary team (MDT) is made up of:
- dermatologists
- haematologists
- medical oncologists
- histopathologists
- radiology consultants
- clinical nurse specialists (CNS)
- research team
What to expect during your initial consultation
During your initial consultation you will be seen by an experienced doctor from within the team, where they will aim to gain more information about you and your referral. We may need to organise some additional test during this consultation, these could include blood tests, skin biopsies, and/or scans.
Please bring a list of all your current medications with you for our records.
The skin lymphoma clinics are run in two locations:
