Haematology at University Hospital
University Hospital's clinical haematology department provides a range of treatment and support services for adult patients from North Staffordshire and central and Mid Cheshire. We treat patients suffering from a wide range of blood disorders including cancers such as myeloma, lymphoma and leukaemia. We also treat patients with a variety of non-cancerous blood conditions.
We employ a multidisciplinary team who treat and care for you throughout your journey. Any patient who is diagnosed with a blood cancer is discussed within a multidiscplinary team consisting of haematologists, an oncologist, a radiologist, a histopathologist and the clinical nurse specialists. Having the input of staff from a variety of clinical backgrounds helps give a rounded, complete view of each patient's case, and therefore results in better care.
We understand the complex emotions and pressures that come with a cancer diagnoses and the subsequent treatment. We therefore take every measure possible to ensure you are made as comfortable as possible during your treatment.

In 2009 Haematology relocated along with the Oncology service to a joint ward in the new purpose-built cancer centre at the City General site, Newcastle Road, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. This state-of-the-art building has 33 inpatient beds, a day unit and a radiotherapy department which includes a brachytherapy suite.
The centre is part of the 400 million pound new hospital development.
The haematology cancer service provides surgery, oncology (chemotherapy/radiotherapy) and palliative treatments for people with blood, lymphoma and myeloma cancers.
