LSB555 Principles and Practice of Clinical Haematology

Haematology is the study of blood and investigates pathologies associated with blood cell dyscrasias including the anaemias, thalassaemias, haemoglobinopathies, haemoparasites, bacterial and viral infections and malignancies, as well as abnormalities of the haemostatic system, leading to increased risk of bleeding or thrombosis. For you to work effectively and with confidence in clinical diagnostic haematology, you will require knowledge of the most frequently encountered conditions and the ability to recognise and interpret their results and confirmatory tests in the laboratory. This unit is positioned in the developmental phase of your course and assumes knowledge and proficiency in the skills you developed in your second year units. Combined with LSB655 next semester, LSB555 will prepare you for future employment in a clinical diagnostic haematology laboratory.
