North Middlesex University Hospital is a provider of specialist services for patients with sickle cell disease, thalassaemias, and other inherited anaemias. Comprehensive care is provided by a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT).  The service provides care for patients locally (Enfield and Haringey, and parts of Barnet).

As a specialist commissioned service it also provides outreach and specialist care to linked providers within the boundaries of the haemoglobinopathy clinical network. This includes assessment, screening, and treatment of patients from Welwyn Gardens Hospital and Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, and other parts of Essex.

We provide service from birth and continue until patients are transferred to the adult team at the age of 16 (19 if they have additional needs). We provide inpatient, outpatient, and community care.
