In this section, we have leaflets for the Clinical Haematology department. Please only read the materials on the advice of your clinician.
The Recite Me accessibility tools can be used if you need assistance.
Hospital Associated Thrombosis (Blood Clot)
Any patient admitted to hospital is potentially at risk of developing a blood clot. This leaflet will explain what a blood clot is, who is most at risk of getting one, what you can do to help reduce your risk and what we can do to help reduce it further. It will also tell you what symptoms might suggest the presence of a blood clot and what you should do if you experience any of them.
Patient Initiated Follow-Up after Treatment for Lymphoma
The personalised stratified follow up service has been specifically designed to support you when you have completed your treatment. It is a type of follow up where you, the patient, are in control. Instead of being offered regular visits, you can make an appointment to see us if you have worries or concerns following your consultation. It is based on evidence showing that symptoms and concerns are addressed more quickly if patents report them as and when they occur, rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
Your Blood Test
This leaflet outlines how to prepare and what to expect at your blood test appointment. If you have any further questions, please speak to the Phlebotomist who takes your blood or see contact details at the back of this leaflet.
