The Blood Fund

What is The Blood Fund?

The haematology department at Hammersmith Hospital is world-renowned for its research and exceptional care for patients with a wide variety of blood disorders, including leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, sickle cell disease and haemophilia.

The Blood Fund is our fundraising campaign in support of the haematology team and their incredible work. We want to ensure hospital staff can continue to provide exceptional care to patients by offering extra funding in three key areas:

Clinical research
We offer our patients new treatments through ethically approved clinical trials, which are the best way to assess the benefits of these exciting new therapies in a safe and regulated environment. But we're limited in the number of trials we can offer because of a shortage of highly-skilled research nurses. Support from The Blood Fund will help us recruit more nurses, so we can carry out this vital research.
 
Patient care
Through the Blood Fund, we're increasing the number of Clinical Nurse Specialists who provide personal care and expert advice, as well as making our outpatient waiting areas more comfortable with new seating, television screens and artwork.
 
Support for the scientists of the future
The Blood Fund is also helping our younger doctors and scientists spend more time in the laboratory working on research. We're supporting these talented professionals to progress their careers by giving them time to develop their ideas and prepare grant applications to national funding bodies.
