Stem cell transplant unit
Key services
The stem cell unit is an eight-bed purpose-built transplant
facility featuring HEPA filtration and positive pressure
ventilation. This enables us to treat patients with
haematological malignancies or other serious blood disorders who
require special facilities because of their compromised immune
systems.
We can provide all of the most effective modalities of
treatment, including the latest developments in chemotherapy,
immunotherapy and stem cell transplant procedures. Through
our close association with the Anthony Nolan Trust, we are a major
stem cell collection centre for peripheral blood and bone marrow
volunteer donors. Donations are used in matched unrelated
donor transplants in both the UK and overseas.
Our experts
There is a team of five haemato-oncologists and haematologists
who also have special interests in all aspects of haematology,
including anaemia, coagulation and thrombotic disorders. All
nursing staff have appropriate specialist certification in the
haematology field.
The unit is supported by the stem cell laboratory with
facilities for flow cytometry and cryopreservation. A liquid
nitrogen facility is used for the long-term storage of patients'
stem cells.
