Summary
There is both inpatient and outpatient management of a wide variety of benign and malignant haematological disorders as would be typical of a District General Hospital haematology practise. Haematology has no dedicated inpatient beds, however, they provide a service to the Medical and Surgical Directorates to give haematological assessments when required. This is currently provided by regular ward rounds with additional ad-hoc visits as required. Haematology patients receiving out-patient care, including those attending the SACT Unit that require in-patient treatment remain under the care of the admitting General Physician with the haematologist providing relevant advice. There is a separate same day emergency care unit (SDEC) for blood transfusions, immunoglobulin and iron infusions. General Physicians and the acute medics also manage patients with venous thromboembolic problems and liaise closely with the anticoagulant service. There are currently nine haematology clinics per week distributed amongst the Consultant Haematologists, ANP and CNS. The clinics are held in the Christie@Macclesfield Centre. The Consultant Haematologists provide support to the anticoagulation service when required. There is considerable liaison with local General Practitioners for haematological advice, via the electronic e-referral system and e-Advice and Guidance system. The post-holder would join the existing consultants rota to manage this.
