Rehabilitation medicine offers an opportunity of working with patients who have complex difficulties and, with other professionals, seeing them through to a good outcome for both themselves and their families.
Dr Tim Littlewood, haematology consultant at Oxford Radcliffe NHS Trust, shares his experience of what influenced him in choosing haematology, what training involves, and what it is like working in the specialty.
