RESIDENT MEDICAL OFFICERS' UNIT

Haematology Department

The Haematology Department employs 5 Registrars and 1 House Officer. The Clinical Unit is based in a purpose-built facility and performs approximately 40 bone marrow transplants a year for the whole of the South Island. It also takes referrals for all haematological conditions throughout the upper 2/3 of the South Island. Many of the patients are involved in internationally based trials, particularly those of the United Kingdom Medical Research Council. We are also involved in number of drug trials.

The department has a very active Haemostasis, bone marrow processing and Surface Markers Unit, as well as General Haematology. We work in very close liaison with the Regional Blood Transfusion Centre and the Haematology molecular group in Molecular Pathology. There are two internationally recognised research labs attached to the department. Six Consultant staff work in the department.

The 5 Registrars rotate through the Ward, Outpatients, Laboratory, Bone Marrow Transplantation and Transfusion Medicine. There is an active, well-organised teaching programme, and the Registrar posts are approved for training by the Royal Australasian Colleges of Physicians and Pathologists.
