The Oncology and Haematology Department
Welcome to the Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Haematology and Oncology Department Webpage. We hope this webpage will provide you with information that you might find useful during your time with us.
The Oncology and Haematology department is a designated principal treatment centre (PTC) for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers in children and young people.
We are one of the largest Children's Cancer Centres in the UK and see over 250 new patients every year, making us one of the busiest centres in the country. We have a large multidisciplinary team including doctors, nurses, health care assistants, ward clerks, nurse specialists, advanced nurse practitioners, physiotherapists, play therapists, dieticians, occupational therapists and other allied health professionals. You are likely to meet several of us during your child’s journey.
The department is also a specialist centre for the management of non-malignant haematological conditions and there are links within this page to direct you to further information.
Where to find us
You can find us in Waterfall House which is on Whittall Street (opposite the Royal Angus NCP car park). Our department is made up of oncology/haematology outpatients, Ward 18 and Ward 19.
