Who is the service for?
Samples for haematology laboratory investigations are received and processed from both General Practitioners within Primary Care and Consultant led in-patient and out-patient services. Haematology supports both diagnosis and treatment in a wide range of disease of the blood and bone marrow including anaemia and leukaemia as well as supporting the general clinical management of patients.

Laboratory Haematology provides routine and urgent blood counting and morphological film examination, coagulation screening, blood transfusion (blood grouping, antibody screening and blood/blood product provision), specialist coagulation and haemoglobinopathy investigations to both General Practitioners within Primary Care and to Consultant led services within the hospitals at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
