- Numerous locations providing mental health and learning disabilities services

Highly specialised and tertiary services commissioned by the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee, a joint committee representing seven health boards across Wales.

Our team currently consists of 5 consultants (2 part time), 4 Middle grade Doctors, 6 Haematology CNS and 1.6 Haematology Pharmacists and a QIST Manager. A current service review will plan to see an increase in numbers of staff to accommodate current workload. Each of the 4 sites provide SACT treatments as well as out-patient clinics.
