We treat 180 new patients with cancer, leukaemia, and brain
tumours each year from within the West Midlands, Northampton
and surrounding areas. We offer specialist bone marrow transplants,
haemophilia (bleeding disorders) and haemoglobinopathy services
which also provide some supraregional services. The unit is
one of two UK centres providing a national and comprehensive
service to children with retinoblastoma (cancer of the eye).
We enjoy close links with all other Trust services and children
and families receive care from a multidisciplinary team including
doctors, nurses (on the ward, in clinics and in the community)
Sargent Social Workers, psychologists play specialists, teachers
and pharmacists. Families are supported at home, in the ward,
in the outpatient clinic and in local hospitals. Click here to view information
