Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

Clinical
The Oxford Haemophilia & Thrombosis Centre is one of the largest haemophilia comprehensive care centres in the country. The catchment area encompasses much of central southern England, including the counties of Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Wiltshire.
The daily work of the department involves the routine clinical review and management of acute problems in adults with congenital bleeding disorders. Patients have 24/7 access to the care from OHTC and are regularly reviewed at the centre. There are no beds within the centre, which is a purely outpatient facility. Patients who require inpatient treatment are admitted to the haematology ward or the most appropriate ward or department within the Trust’s various sites. The majority of the in-patient haemostasis work covers the care of haemophilia patients who require support for surgical procedures or the care of patients with newly diagnosed acquired bleeding disorders.
The department has its own specialist haemostasis laboratory and each consultant has direct access to all facilities in the laboratory and will provide advice to clinicians about results from the laboratory.
The department is also responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) referred by local general practitioners as well as supervision of the anticoagulation of patients within the county. A daily DVT diagnostic nurse-led service runs from OHTC and the consultant on-call will provide immediate oversight for any clinical concerns that arise. Patients found to have a DVT are reviewed by the junior doctor team at the centre. Thrombosis clinics are held regularly and each consultant will participate in these clinics.
