“An innovative state-of-the-art hospital with public and private facilities under the one roof”
NORTHERN BEACHES HOSPITAL
Services
I am accredited to admit both public and private patients to Northern Beaches Hospital under my care for a variety of blood-related conditions. This is a growing and innovative state-of-the-art metropolitan hospital with public and private facilities under the one roof. I also offer a haematology consultation service. This is available for any patient admitted to Northern Beaches Hospital who has a haematological problem and whose treating specialist requests my assistance to manage this condition. I see outpatients with haematological problems as one of the few haematologists with rooms located in the hospital, and can offer many outpatient treatments in the NBH Day Medical Unit (DMU).
I also provide laboratory haematology services at Northern Beaches Hospital through Australian Clinical Labs. This includes performing and interpreting bone marrow biopsies, interpreting blood films and other laboratory tests important to haematology, and providing transfusion and other advice to assist doctors to interpret abnormal laboratory results on their patients.
Diagnostics
Laboratory services at Northern Beaches Hospital are provided by Australian Clinical Labs, which offers a range of diagnostic tests important in haematology. These results are easily accessed by all treating specialists within the hospital. Patients also have access to a comprehensive range of radiology and other diagnostic services including bone marrow biopsies.
Treatment
Treatment may involve chemotherapy or other supportive therapies. I will discuss the options with you and obtain your consent prior to any chemotherapy or other procedure. I will also provide you with information about your treatment to read and share with those close to you. You will be offered a chemotherapy education session prior to your treatment, to help you understand what is involved. Many treatments may be given to you at Northern Beaches Hospital.
You will be well cared for.
