BMS306 Advanced Haematology (8)
Abstract|
This subject provides an in depth study of advanced haematological concepts in areas of blood cell kinetics and regulation of cell cycle, haemopoietic malignancies, anaemias, and disorders of haemostatic systems (primary haemostasis, coagulation system and fibrinolytic system). Furthermore, quality control and quality assurance measures related to haematology are integrated into this subject. Students will also develop advanced knowledge and skills in conducting laboratory tests including but not limited to the examination of blood and/or bone marrow films, and the investigations of haemoglobin abnormalities and coagulation disorders.Distance Education students are required to attend a compulsory Residential School. |

- be able to explain the pathogenesis, clinical findings, laboratory diagnosis and treatment of anaemias
- be able to explain the pathogenesis, classification, clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the haemostatic system
- be able to demonstrate an understanding of the current impact of advances in molecular techniques relevant to haematology
- be able to analyse, interpret and apply the results of haematological tests, as well as some clinical findings, to problem-solving activities including but not limited to case studies in regard to haematological disorders
- be able to demonstrate an understanding of key issues regarding quality control and quality assurance in the haematology laboratory
- be able to conduct haematological tests including but not limited to blood film examinations, investigation of abnormalities in haemoglobin synthesis, and coagulation studies
- be able to demonstrate high levels of academic communication and team working skills

Residential School| This subject contains a compulsory 3 day residential school.
The residential school will allow students to develop and demonstrate advanced laboratory skills relevant to diagnostic haematology. Students will be required to demonstrate advanced skills, including but not limited to blood film examination which is required for the diagnosis of haematological disorders
