Dr Peter Tan specialises in haematological oncology, and general haematological conditions including obstetric haematology, bleeding and clotting disorders. He consults at Western Haematology & Oncology Clinics and Royal Perth Hospital.
He understands that blood disorders are often complex and prioritises the provision of comprehensive and clear explanations. A new diagnosis may often cause a level of stress and uncertainty for patients and their families, therefore he plans to demystify the process of investigations and therapeutic options.
Dr Tan maintains an interest in the safe use of blood transfusion products and is a member of the RPH Blood Transfusion Committee. He is a member of the RPH Drug and Therapeutics Committee (DTC) that evaluates novel therapies. He supervises physician and haematology specialist trainees and lectures medical students at UWA.
