Fully revised and updated to reflect advances in the field and in clinical practice, this new edition covers essential knowledge, from basic hematological physiology to blood disorders and their diagnosis and treatment. This new edition of Haematology at a Glance: • Features expanded sections on the underlying mechanisms, diagnostic techniques and management of the malignant haematological diseases. Also incorporates recent advances in knowledge of thrombosis and the newer oral anticoagulants • Contains the very latest clinical treatments • Includes updated illustrations and clinical photographs to illustrate concepts and aid understanding • Features extensive online self-assessment at www.ataglanceseries.com/haematology This book is an invaluable resource for medical students and health professionals wanting to consolidate and expand their knowledge of haematology.

This textbook is written by a renowned haematologist with more than 30 years of experience in teaching haematology to medical students and whose pedagogical and writing skills are widely admired within the field. Following closely the current curriculum of Imperial College London, medical students, trainee nurses and biomedical science students from other institutions will find the textbook equally suitable, since it includes the core student haematology curriculum as recommended by the Royal College of Pathologists and the British Society of Haematology expert group. This text will be equally suitable for students outside the UK. The textbook takes a useful, practical approach, incorporating self-evaluation questions and learning objectives that give students not only the information needed to understand the topic but also clear indications on the core knowledge that students are required to know in order to progress within the field of haematology.

Written to help haematology and general medical trainees evaluate their own knowledge, and particularly useful for those preparing for the Part 1 examination of the Royal College of Pathologists. This exam-centered book will also be of use to core medical trainees preparing for the examinations of the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and to haematology and general medicine trainees in other countries where methods of examination are similar. The 150 questions are presented in two formats, Single Best Answer and Extended Matching Question, and comes complete with detailed feedback and, when appropriate, relevant references are given for each question so that those who select the wrong answer will understand why another answer is better. Quick reference question book, ideal for examination preparation Includes 50 SBA questions, ideal for the Part 1 and Part 2 MRCP examinations, which although having a general medical slant, are also appropriate for haematology specialist trainees Includes 70 SBA multiple choice questions appropriate for haematology specialist trainees but also useful to core medical trainees Includes 30 EMQs suitable for those taking Part 1 of the FRCPath examination Questions come complete with fully referenced answers and discussion points This book provides an educational tool for training as well as an ideal way to prepare for examinations and is also of value to those who examine in haematology and haematopathology.

'The test cases are particularly variable, including pertinent management tips in the answers. The book also contains a set of useful self-assessment questions. Being pedantic, this could now benefit from an increase in the proportion of 'Single Best Answer Questions', now ubiquitous in undergraduate assessment. This will continue to be on my local recommended reading list, particularly for those students wanting a thorough understanding of Haematology, from the laboratory through to basic management. It would also be a good text for those starting a career in Haematology, such as Physician Associates and doctors early in their training.'British Journal of HaematologyThis second edition of Haematology: A Core Curriculum is written by a haematologist with more than forty-five years of experience in teaching haematology to medical students and whose pedagogical and writing skills are widely admired within the field.The textbook takes a useful, practical approach, incorporating self-evaluation questions and learning objectives that give students the information needed to understand the topic and clear indications of the core knowledge required to progress within the field of haematology. Themes covered include clinical haematology and the scientific basis of the discipline and the causes and pathogenesis of haematological disorders as well as how conditions are diagnosed and treated.Haematology closely follows the Imperial College London curriculum but medical students, trainee nurses and biomedical science students from other institutions will find the textbook equally suitable, since it includes the core student haematology curriculum as recommended by the Royal College of Pathologists.Related Link(s)
