Dr Arne de Kreuk is a consultant haematologist specialising in haemoglobin disorders. He is primarily based at North Middlesex University Hospital and he is a member of the red cell team at UCLH. He provides specialist outreach clinics for patients with sickle cell disorder and thalassaemia in Cambridge, Norwich and Stevenage.

 He graduated with honours from the VU University Medical School in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 1997 and completed specialist training in 2008. In 2006 he was awarded a PhD for a thesis on the preservation of stem cells in autologous grafts. He has a special interest in quality improvement and has followed the IHI executive development programme for patient safety.
