The Haematology Unit in Weston is a level 2 unit with close links to the Bristol Haematology Unit at the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre (BHOC). BHOC is a tertiary referral centre for bone marrow transplantation, CART therapies, and regional centres for Haemoglobinopathy and Haemophilia. The Trust serves a catchment population of approximately 2.2 million people.
