The ‘immune system’ is the term used by doctors to talk about the ways in which our bodies fight off illness. Usually, our immune system works well to prevent us getting sick. Sometimes, though, it can get sick itself.
Immunology doctors are specialists in how the immune system works. The ones at Heartlands Hospital work with others in Newcastle and London to get the best care for you.
You might need a bone marrow transplant, and these take place in Newcastle and London. Or, you might get the most out of special ‘immunoglobin replacement therapy’. These are both ways to improve your immune system.
There is other help available, too, from experts in how to eat healthily. You’ll be well looked after, and everyone will try to make your immune system that much stronger.
