Haematological Support Team (HST)

Haematology focuses on disorders of the blood, the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. Some of these disorders have a long-term or lifelong impact on the daily lives of patients and their loved ones.

A diagnosis and treatment can raise many questions, uncertainties and practical challenges. That is why the HST is on hand to inform, support and guide patients and their loved ones, tailored to their needs and wishes, throughout the entire process.
