Welcome to this live online course, an opportunity to build on and refine your morphology and diagnostic skills in haematology. We will cover a range of common and not-so-common topics and reflect on some of their clinical facets.
This course is ideal if you are preparing for a range of exams, including the FRCPath part 2 haematology, RCPA haematology and IBMS speciality exams.
The live sessions have now finished, but you can still register to access the session recordings, along with the cases and presentation slides.
Course details
Download and print the course notebooks to write your answers and learning points. These can be found in the Session 1 and 6 tabs.
Don’t worry, we have uploaded edited versions of the live sessions for you to view at your convenience, along with the cases and presentation slides. They can be found below with the individual session tabs.
This is a case-based course, with each session covering a specific topic. The majority of the cases use interactive, digital slides allowing you to navigate and examine blood and bone marrow samples.
To get the most out of the course, it is recommended you review these cases before viewing the live sessions.
The course tutor will review each case, highlighting the important learning points. It is expected the delegate will assess their own answers.
A great way to build on your morphology skills before attending this course is taking the ‘Essential Blood Cell Morphology’ course. This additional course provides you with video tutorials, e-learning modules and assessments. You will cover the morphology of all the major haematopoeitic cells found in reactive and malignant conditions. Whatever your level of experience, we suggest you work through this course alongside the live sessions.
You can purchase this course and access the first lesson on red cells for FREE via this link.
Although we will cover a large range of topics, it would be impossible for us review everything! We hope that it will spark your interest and further reading in haematology.
