About Dr Ivanov
Dr
Gleb Ivanov qualified as a doctor in Minsk, Belarus in 1996 and was awarded a PhD in Haematology/Biochemistry (St Petersburg, Russia) for research into the role of calprotectin (one of the proteins in white cells) in haematological conditions.
Dr Ivanov comes from a haematological family - both his father and brother are Haematologists.
In 1997, Dr Ivanov was awarded the Royal Society Postdoctoral Fellowship to undertake research at the Leucocyte Adhesion Laboratory, Imperial Cancer Research Fund, London.
Since launching a medical career in Medicine/Haematology, Dr Ivanov has studied at major UK cancer centres, such as the Royal Marsden Hospital, Sutton; Christie Hospital, Manchester; University Hospital of Wales; and Velindre Hospital, Cardiff.
Dr Ivanov speaks fluent English and Russian.
Dr Ivanov says:
“I have completed specialist training in Haematology at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff and was subsequently appointed as a Consultant Haematologist at Southend University Hospital. I have joined Surrey and Sussex NHS Trust, which remains my main NHS base, in 2011. My sub-speciality areas include lymphoma and coagulation disorders, however, as a District General Hospital Haematologist, I regularly see patients a wide variety of blood disorders. I maintain close links with my colleagues at London teaching hospitals, and would not hesitate to refer a patient to a national expert in London, if I think that the best available care can be provided elsewhere. I work closely with providers of homecare including chemotherapy at home - an option that some patients find most suitable for their needs.”
