On September the 21st the Haematology Quality team will be swimming for  The Blood Fund charity. Ralph, Halima & Shauncy will collectively swim 3 miles of the Serpentine lake in Hyde park. All money raised will be donated towards the great care and treatment to Haematology patients. We have seen first hand the fantastic treatment, care and cutting edge research provided by the Hammersmith Hospital and its fantastic staff.

The Blood Fund supports the world-renowned Hammersmith Hospital Haematology department, which cares for people with a wide range of serious (and often life-threatening) blood disorders including Leukaemia, Lymphoma, Myeloma, Sickle cell disease and Haemophilia.

The Blood Fund enables patients to access ethically approved clinical trials which aim to improve our understanding and management of these complex conditions, as well as the provision of specialist haematology and clinical trial nurses. Specialist nurses provide an invaluable role in supporting patients and facilitating trials.

The fund also supports important research, including that of young doctors in their early research careers, through the provision of access to facilities and laboratories.

You can help us by donating and supporting us on the day, bring towels!
