About

Most, if not all, patients admitted to hospital will undergo a full blood count test. Although the interpretation might appear easy at first glance, a sound understanding of the basics and subtilities are essential to appreciate the vast number of conditions, diseases and rarer pathologies that a full blood count can highlight. This talk will help to demystify common blood tests undertaken in clinical practice by providing a detailed appreciation of all measured parameters, some of which can often be overlooked. It is intended to improve the attendee's knowledge and enhance his/her clinical acumen, allowing him/her to reach a considered diagnosis when suspecting a haematological pathology or other related conditions.

The assessment and management of the following haematological conditions will be covered during this talk:

  1. Iron deficiency anaemia
  2. B12 deficiency
  3. Haemolysis
  4. Reactive thrombocytosis
  5. Immune thrombocytopenia
  6. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
  7. Anaemia in IBD
  8. Secondary polycythemia
  9. Pancytopenia
  10. Myeloma

Aims:

  • To revise the interpretation of common blood test results.
  • To improve the assessment and management of common haematological pathologies.

Suitable for:

  • Medical Students (clinical years)
  • Foundation Year 1 Doctors
  • Foundation Year 2 Doctors
