The clinical haematology services at Epsom and St Helier comprise an integrated service with joint Clinical Leads Dr Sneha Muthalali and Dr Caroline Ebdon.

At both sites the Haematology and Chemical Pathology laboratories have merged to form a Trust wide Blood Sciences department.  Dr Caroline Ebdon, Dr Sneha Muthalali and Dr Helen Johnstone are joint heads of the Blood Sciences laboratory service across site.  There is a Blood Sciences Service Manager who is directly responsible to the joint heads of department.  He delegates managerial and scientific duties to other senior scientific staff, notably the scientific leads of the various laboratory sections.

The Department has improved its links with the Royal Marsden Hospital (RMH) in recent years, and RMH now provides funding for Pathology Reporting within the Centre for Molecular Pathology (HMDS).
