Bud Flanagan East Ward is a 16‑bed unit caring for patients with Leukaemia, Myeloma and Lymphoma throughout their treatment pathway. On the ward we undertake a variety of bone marrow transplants including sibling, unrelated and cord donors. Our partner ward, Bud Flanagan West, mainly cares for patients undergoing autologous transplants and also manages our Ambulatory Inpatient Service.
The unit offers a pleasant environment for patients and ensures their comfort needs are met in a relaxed setting. We are committed to providing the highest quality care and maintaining consistently high standards in a professional and friendly atmosphere.
We provide flexible working patterns to support work/life balance and offer individualised professional development opportunities and excellent staff support facilitation.
If you are committed to providing patient‑focused care for Haemato‑Oncology patients, we would like to hear from you.
