The Ottawa Hospital has a large and well-supported Sickle cell and Hemoglobinopathy Program where physicians participate in a shared clinic structure supported by nursing, social work and dedicated clerical support.

The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute for Transfusion Research conducts national and international clinical research in transfusion, transplantation and resuscitation medicine through a multidisciplinary network. Training opportunities may be available for early career hematologists or those considering expanding their scope of practice in their areas.
