care that we provide to our patients on a daily basis.
We have developed a very comprehensive care service for patients with blood
disorders and regularly receive positive feedback about how welcoming our clinic
is. Roald Dahl was a much loved character; it’s important for us that our
service is much loved by our patients." |
