“Compassion, excellence, justice, integrity”
4 core values of St Vincent’s

ST VINCENT'S CLINIC

Consultations

At your consultation with me I will talk to you about your condition, perform a physical examination and ask you to have some blood tests. We will discuss your condition and formulate a management plan. You are welcome to attend your appointment either on your own or with others.

Diagnostics

Laboratory services are provided by SydPath (St Vincent’s Pathology), which offers a full range of diagnostic tests important in haematology. For your convenience, pathology collectors are located onsite. You may require a bone marrow biopsy which is performed in the Nelune Centre at The Kinghorn. Diagnostic radiology is performed at St Vincent’s Clinic Medical Imaging and PET scans at St Vincent’s Public Hospital.

Treatment

Treatment may involve chemotherapy or other 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. All outpatient treatments except venesections are given in the Ambulatory Care Centre (ACC) of St Vincent’s Private Hospital.  This is serviced by experienced nurses who are trained to give chemotherapy, blood products and other specialised medication. Therapeutic venesections are performed in the treatment rooms in Suite 507, St Vincent’s Clinic. If you require admission to hospital for your treatment, this may occur at St Vincent's Private Hospital or in some cases St Vincent's Public Hospital.

You will be well cared for.
