Understanding Haematology Consultation

Looking for a haematology consultation near me? My Health Assistant connects you with experienced and GMC-registered specialists offering haematology services in your area. Whether you’re managing a known blood condition or seeking diagnosis for unexplained symptoms, we help you find trusted experts for personalised, accurate care.

What is a Haematology Consultation?

A haematology consultation is an appointment with a specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats disorders of the blood and bone marrow. This includes conditions affecting red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, clotting factors, and immune responses. Your haematologist will review your symptoms, medical history, and test results to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

What to Expect from a Haematology Consultation

A typical consultation lasts 30–60 minutes and may include:

Detailed medical history and symptom review

Discussion of previous blood tests, scans, or treatments

Physical examination, especially of lymph nodes, spleen, or signs of bleeding

Ordering of additional diagnostic tests (e.g., full blood count, bone marrow biopsy, clotting tests)

Personalised treatment recommendations or referral to other specialists if needed

The consultation may be in person or online, depending on the provider and your health status.

Who Conducts This Service?
