Urgent problems are assessed on the same day by a registrar who then discusses them with the consultant.  Initial contact may be by telephone followed by a faxed referral to Haematology Day Stay.

Other referrals should be sent through the Central referrals situated at GLCC.

Less urgent problems such as iron overload are seen at outpatients in one to two months.

In between, the more usual referrals such as anaemia, low blood cell counts, lymphoma and clotting problems are seen within one to two weeks.

A consultant reviews all the referrals each day and ensures that the problem is assessed with appropriate speed.
