Paediatric Bone Marrow Transplant
Welcome to the homepage for the Bristol Children's Hospital
Paediatric Bone Marrow Transplant service.
About us:
Bone Marrow Transplants at the Bristol Royal Hospital for
Children are carried out on Starlight Ward, a state-of-the-art 17
bedded unit which looks after children with Oncological and
Haematological disorders as well as children immediately before,
during and after their transplant. The bone marrow transplant
service performs transplants using bone marrow, peripheral blood
stem cells or cord blood cells from matched or mismatched
related/unrelated donors. Approximately 40 paediatric auto- and
allografts are performed each year.
