We offer a day-treatment service for patients receiving blood transfusions and Intravenous medication.
Blood transfusions are either two or three units over one or two days. We aim to offer same-week transfusions.
The IV infusions are for either three or five days of steroids. We aim to offer treatment within a fortnight of referral.
IV antibiotics are offered daily as required.

A blood test is taken from your finger and tested, giving a result within minutes. You are then dosed and a new appointment is made for your next test.
Each appointment takes around ten minutes. Initial appointments with the clinical lead take 30 minutes.
