NCA Haematology Pathway Board (NCHPB)

North Region Health & Care Collaboration

Haematology Pathway Board

The NCA Haematology Forum provides a collaborative environment for strategic focus and vision for Haematological Cancer services throughout the North of Scotland Health Boards.

Haematology cancer services in the North

Haemtatology is the study of blood cancers which are rare in Scotland, with approximately 700 new cases diagnosed in Scotland each year. The most common types are known as Leukaemia and Lymphoma.

In the North, Haematology cancer services are managed in our three cancer centres in Aberdeen, Dundee and Inverness.

The aim of this Pathway Board is to facilitate regional working between the centres, ensuring a focus on improving patient outcomes.

For more information on the symptoms, investigation and treatment of Haematological cancers, please visit the NHS Inform website.
