Our service is part of the Regional Cancer and Blood Service at Auckland District Health Board.  Our teams are specialists in providing care in haematology, medical oncology and radiation oncology. We are here to ensure that you get the best care with the best possible outcome for you and your whānau.  This video is here to introduce all of our services to you.

What is Clinical Haematology?   Haematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the blood and blood-forming organs. Such disorders may involve the:
  • components of blood (cells and plasma)
  • coagulation (blood clotting) processes
  • bone marrow
  • lymph nodes. 

To help in the diagnosis of blood disorders, you will need to be interviewed and examined by a doctor and then probably need to have blood samples taken for analysis in the laboratory. You may also need to have x-rays, bone marrow samples or tissue biopsy.

These results will be assessed, discussed with you by a specialist, and a treatment plan developed.

Some treatments are administered in the Haematology Department Day Stay or Haemophilia sections. Others are administered by your GP (General Practitioner) and some require admission to the Haematology Ward which is Motutapu Ward on the 11th Floor Support building.
