Rod Skinner Paediatrician Newcastle provides expert care in paediatric and adolescent blood diseases. Professor Rod Skinner, now semi-retired, focuses on the long-term follow-up of children and teens who have had cancer or leukaemia. Over many years, he has led clinical teams and treated serious blood conditions in young patients. Because of this, families trust his care and experience.
First, Professor Skinner tracks the health of patients who finished cancer or leukaemia treatment during childhood. He pays close attention to those who had bone marrow or stem cell transplants. This care helps catch any late effects early, improving patients’ health over time. Moreover, his approach supports childhood cancer survivors to live full, healthy lives.
In addition, Rod Skinner Paediatrician Newcastle runs several special clinics. These include paediatric haematology and oncology long-term follow-up, joint paediatric/adolescent bone marrow transplant and endocrine clinics, and Fanconi anaemia clinics for both children and adults. Each clinic offers care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Also, these clinics work closely with families to ensure the best outcomes.
Before semi-retiring, Professor Skinner led the Paediatric Haematology Bone Marrow Transplant service. He treated children with acute leukaemia, aplastic anaemia, and rare blood cancers. Thanks to his leadership, many young patients received advanced care that improved their chances of survival. Even today, his clinical work guides how doctors care for these conditions.
