Duncan Carradice is a Haematologist committed to providing personalized clinical care for patients with lymphoma (Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma), myeloma and other blood disorders. He is dedicated to continuously improving care for patients residing in the West and North-West of metropolitan Melbourne.

Duncan is a consultant Haematologist at Western Health, where his achievements to date include:

• lead involvement in setting up a satellite Haematology and chemotherapy service (Sunbury Day Hospital)
• active involvement in a rapidly expanding clinical trials program
• establishing a Haematology tumour stream MDM (multi-disciplinary meeting)
• facilitating an advanced trainee position in Haematology at Western Health.

As a laboratory Haematologist, Duncan is able to utilise his expertise in the accurate diagnosis of all haematological disorders, routinely reviewing the blood films, bone marrow biopsies and lymph node biopsies of his patients.

He practices privately in Footscray, delivering clinical care and treatment through Western Private Hospital and private consulting rooms, in Eleanor Street.

Duncan is currently developing a rapid assessment service for patients with lymphadenopathy (or other symptoms suggestive of lymphoma) with same-day lymph node fine needle aspiration (FNA) to enable rapid and efficient triaging of patients for further investigation and treatment. He has an interest in eHealth, currently running a paperless practice and delivering correspondence rapidly via electronic messaging to over 80% of referring practitioners, in addition to successfully commencing TeleHealth consultations in early 2012.

Duncan trained in Haematology in Christchurch, NZ and at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, subsequently completing a PhD at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in molecular genetics.

His clinical interests are in lymphoma and myeloma. He is a member of the ALLG low grade lymphoma/CLL disease group.
