GENERAL DIRECTORATE INFORMATION

Clinical Directorates became operational at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital on 1 April 1991 and are now well established. Clinical Directors are appointed by the Chief Executive for a three year period, subject to annual review.

Haematology sits within the wider Directorate of Communicable Diseases and Specialised medicine (Haematology, Infectious Diseases, HIV medicine, Sexual Health, Dermatology and Immunology & Allergy).

THE WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT

Clinical Haematology Service

All the Haematology inpatient and outpatient facilities for adults (over 16 years of age) in Sheffield are based at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital (RHH), with a population served by the laboratory in Sheffield of around 600,000 and , North Nottinghamshire, North Derbyshire (formerly North Trent) region of close to 2 million. Haematological services for children up to the age of 16 years are provided by the Haematology department of Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

The inpatient facilities comprise of 3 inpatient wards (P3, P4, O1) co-located with extensive dedicated day-case facilities, an Apheresis Unit (managed by NHSBT) and the Centre for Haemophilia and Thrombosis. A significant amount of chemotherapy of all intensities is administered to out-patients on the Day Ward, as are the majority of blood transfusions, venesections, bone marrow and other procedures. Early follow-up of BMT and intensively treated haemato-oncology patients is also conducted on the day-case unit.

Ambulatory care (based either at home or from two dedicated patient flats on the campus) is offered to clinically eligible patients undergoing myeloma and lymphoma autografts, lymphoma salvage chemotherapy and AML consolidation chemotherapy. The department is hoping to extend the practice of ambulatory care to more therapies over coming years.

For the Northern General Hospital (NGH), the clinical liaison services are provided during the day by Dr S. T. Laidlaw, Associate Specialist, Specialist Registrars and an attending haemostasis consultant.

The department has close links with the British Society for Haematology (BSH, Dr Wright, Vice President/President-elect), the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT, Prof Snowden, Secretary), and British Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (BSBMTCT, Prof Snowden, President-elect).

Haemato-oncology services

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals (STH) provides tertiary Haemato-oncology services, including all levels of BMT and specialised clinical research services, to over 2 million. The haemato-oncology team at comprises 8 consultants, all participating in intensive chemotherapy and BMT services. Inpatient facilities comprise of 3 wards, with 42 beds for BMT and high-intensity chemotherapy and a dedicated day ward. Decisions are made with the support of the weekly regional MDT meeting, which includes the surrounding satellite hospital referral bases (Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster, Worksop and Chesterfield). All cases are discussed at presentation and subsequent treatment points, including inclusion in clinical trials.

Specialised Integrated Haematological Diagnostic Services (SIHMDS) for the regional 2 million population (‘HODS’) are provided on the central Sheffield campus, and are linked into the regional Genomic Laboratory Hub (GLH) for Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and other genetic developments (regional co-lead GLH clinician, Professor Snowden).

A national award winning Late Effects Clinic has been long established as a collaboration between adult haematology and paediatric haematology/oncology services, Endocrinology, Reproductive Medicine, Psychiatry and other relevant specialties, and is led by Professor Diana Greenfield, Consultant Nurse

Our dedicated Haemato-oncology/Lymphoma clinical trials team are integral to our clinical service and are present in clinics, on wards and at the MDT. The clinical trial work of the team sits within The Academic Directorate of Communicable Diseases and Specialised Medicine (CDSM), which Dr Chantry leads.

The South Yorkshire Region Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) Programme

The South Yorkshire Region Blood and Marrow Transplant Programme principally provides services to adults in Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster and Bassetlaw, and Chesterfield (approximately 2 million catchment population). The programme is a collaboration between the clinical services at the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the Apheresis, Cell Processing and Histocompatibility Services of the NHS National Blood & Transplant (NHSBT, based in Sheffield). It also takes specialist referrals from nationally and internationally.

Within STHFT, all levels of BMT/Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation are performed in the refurbished single site Clinical Facility at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. The NBS provides MHRA/HTA accredited cell processing facilities. All aspects of BMT Programme are currently FACT-JACIE accredited, including for Immune Effector Cells (IECs) and various areas of cell therapy are being actively explored.

The BMT programme has an active Quality Management Programme and the appointee will be expected to actively participate in relevant Clinical Audit and Service Evaluation as well as being central to the organisation of the weekly educational programme, particularly in relation to education and, where necessary, competency testing, in the areas of the Curriculum and FACT-JACIE Standards.

The consolidation of haemato-oncology services within the South Yorkshire region with introduction of MDT based management, in conjunction with increased evidence based BMT practice, has led to increased demands for transplant services in Sheffield, with over 150 adult transplant procedures being performed in 2017/18, including autologous, related donor, unrelated donor and unrelated cord blood allogeneic procedures.

The Sheffield Therapeutic Apheresis Unit is sited within the Day Case Unit of the Haematology Department, Royal Hallamshire Hospital. It is staffed and managed by the NHSBT and provides a Therapeutic Service to the region. Each year more than 300 procedures are performed, mainly stem cell collection, but also plasmapheresis and red cell exchange. Sheffield was the first unrelated peripheral blood and bone marrow collection sites for the Anthony Nolan, BBMR and DKMS outside of London, and is therefore one of the largest donor collection sites nationally.

Nearby, Sheffield Children’s Hospital houses a regional paediatric stem cell transplant programme, which has also been fully accredited by FACT-JACIE standards. Transitional care is active between sites. Rotherham General Hospital provides access to the regional extra-corporeal photopheresis (ECP) service, and collaborates in the management of graft versus host disease. Opportunities may be negotiated to obtain clinical experience in this field.

Laboratory Haematology Service

In line with NICE Improving Outcomes Guidance, Specialist Integrated Haemato-oncology Diagnostic Services (SIHMDS) i.e. Cell Markers (Royal Hallamshire Hospital), Cytogenetics (Sheffield Children’s Hospital), Molecular Haematology (Sheffield Children’s Hospital) and Histopathology (Royal Hallamshire Hospital) are consolidated into the Haematological Oncology Diagnostic Service (HODS) for the South Yorkshore region, with production of integrated reports via a dedicated IT system. Currently HODS is one of the three regional SIMHDS within the Yorkshire, Humber and North East Genomic Laboratory Hub (GLH), with Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) being integrated into reports via a weekly Genomic Tumour Advisory Boards (GTAB) meeting. Involvement of the appointee in the HODS and GTAB is negotiable, depending on the skillmix and preference of the appointee.

There are modern CPA (UK) accredited laboratories at the RHH and NGH, including blood banking facilities at both sites. The haematology laboratories within STHFT have an integrated management structure consistent with recommendations of the Strategic Review. The UK NEQAS Schemes for Immunophenotyping and Factor Assays are closely associated with the Department of Haematology. Paediatric haematology laboratory services are provided at STHFT for neonates, although are largely situated at Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

Clinical and Translational Research in Haemato-oncology/HSCT in STH and University of Sheffield

Sheffield’s principal academic areas of interest are:  Clinical trials in haematological cancers and BMT  Translational research in haematological cancers and BMT/stem cell biology  Supportive care in cancer, Including a world-leading track record in physical and psychological late effects in survivors of cancer treatment/BMT (with Prof Greenfield)  BMT for severe autoimmune and inflammatory diseases

There as an active and expanding clinical trials research portfolio (Investigator-led and Industry sponsored) via NIHR, ECMC and other networks. Sheffield is a designated and fully supported TAP Clinical Trials and Myeloma UK Clinical Trials Network centre. We are an affiliated IMPACT centre member.

STH is home to NIHR clinical research facilities (CRF and CCTC), which are in close proximity to the haematology wards, day-case and outpatients facilities. Both sites are purpose built facilities including in- patient beds, clinical investigation suites and dedicated laboratory facilities. The CRF is an NIHR Experimental Medicine CRF. All phase I, high risk or novel therapy studies are reviewed by the EM nursing group to ensure safe, high-quality delivery. We have a dedicated EM Research Sister who oversees the EM portfolio. The CRF hosted 9738 patient visits in 2018/19 (2720 of these were EM) and recruited 6267 (651 EM) patients across all phases of research. Haemato-oncology/lymphoma clinical trials are also delivered by the Cancer Clinical Trials Centre (CCTC) at Sheffield. This purpose built clinical research facility was established in 1999, and provides an ideal environment, with consulting rooms, treatment suite and sample processing laboratory, for the assessment and treatment of patients on novel therapies. The CCTC have a particular focus on increasing early phase trial work currently and an early phase trial team has recently been established thanks to the funding support of a local charity.

Sheffield has been a Bloodwise Centre of Excellence for the last seven years status in recognition of its considerable translational research. Examples across the range of haematological cancers and BMT include:  World-leading myeloma bone disease and microenvironment translational research laboratory conducted by the Sheffield Myeloma Research Team (SMaRT) led by Dr Chantry.  Development of unique oncolytic viral therapies in myeloma and lymphoma using a modified adenovirus system, collaborations with Professor Lewis and Dr Muthana.  Genetic epidemiological studies in CLL, myeloma and symptoms related to haematological cancers, collaborations with Professor Cox.  A range of BMT related research e.g. post-BMT immune reconstitution and vaccination, studies of GVHD (in combination with Rotherham ECP unit). We are an Anthony Nolan collection centre and collaborate in their research programme.  Extension of novel molecularly targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy agents into Haemato- oncology with Professor Helleday, Professor of Translational Oncology.  The Bone Recovery After Treatment Study (BRATS) designed to capture evidence of bone remodelling recovery during the bone marrow reconstitution phase post-treatment for myeloma. This will provide a solid basis for our proposed trial combining novel anabolic and anti-resorptive therapy.  Sheffield’s track record in MPN’s is being developed further by Dr Thomas, Clinical Lecturer in Haematology, who coordinates the Yorkshire MPN network, and works closely with Dr Zeidler and his lab.
