Paediatric haematology and stem cell transplantation
The paediatric haematology and stem cell transplantation at St Mary’s Hospital specialises in haemoglobinopathies and red cell disorders, stem cell transplantation, bone marrow failure syndromes and chronic myeloid leukaemia.
The stem cell transplant unit has three dedicated transplant cubicles with HEPA filtration and carries out 18 allogeneic transplants a year (both related and unrelated donors) with a particular interest in thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, aplastic anaemia, diamond blackfan anaemia, fanconi anaemia, dyskeratosis congenita and other inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, and chronic myeloid leukaemia.
The service is recognised by the Department of Health as a sickle centre and provides support for west London and the Thames Valley. The service also manages children with bleeding disorders and thrombotic problems. We offer specialist paediatric transfusion advice and provide a high-level shared care for children with malignancies.
