New haematology consultant at Eastbourne DGH

Dr Cowley originally trained at University College London and undertook her haematology training at a number of hospitals including St George’s Hospital in London, the Clinical Research Facility at UCLH and Croydon University Hospital.

Dr Anna Cowley said, “I am delighted to join a dynamic, cohesive and forward looking haematology team here at East Sussex Healthcare Trust. I have only been at the hospital for a few weeks but my first impression is of a well-run hospital and friendly place to work.”

Fellow haematologist Dr Joel Newman said, “I feel we have been very fortunate to get Anna to join us and I am sure she will strengthen our Haematology service.”

A haematologist is a medical professional who specialises in diagnosing, treating and managing diseases of the blood including leukaemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers along with blood-producing organs (the bone marrow, spleen and lymphoid tissues).

Haematologists also specialise in transfusion medicine and explore the effects that other diseases have on the blood.
