The clinical haematology service of the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Parkville, which says it is one of only two allogeneic bone marrow transplant units in Victoria.
The Royal Melbourne Hospital runs its clinical haematology service jointly with the neighbouring Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, an arrangement this directory records as the Parkville integrated haematology service. The hospital's own page sets out the division of work between the two: the Royal Melbourne provides allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, using cells from a donor, and describes itself as one of only two transplantation units in Victoria, while autologous stem cell transplantation and myeloma care sit with Peter Mac.
Inpatient care for allogeneic transplant at the Royal Melbourne is on ward 7B, which the page says also looks after patients with acute leukaemia, bone marrow failure syndromes and non-malignant blood disorders. The non-malignant side of the service covers iron deficiency, thrombosis, anaemia, thalassaemia and sickle cell disease, and the hospital treats acute lymphoblastic leukaemia as an inpatient service.
This is haematopoietic - blood-forming - stem cell transplantation given as part of treatment for blood cancers and marrow failure. It is a long-established hospital procedure and should not be confused with the injected cell treatments offered by private regenerative medicine clinics; the two are not comparable.
The service is headed by Professor John Seymour AM as Director of Clinical Haematology. The page gives a full address at Level 7, B Building, 300 Grattan Street, Parkville, with ward 7B reachable on (03) 9342 9200 and clinical haematology administration on (03) 8559 7262. It says nothing about cost; this is a Victorian public hospital service reached by referral.
