understand how to implement changes to practice using sound change control procedures as required for good manufacturing practice (GMP);
demonstrate good understanding of clinical aspects of blood product transfusion and the complications thereof;
demonstrate a sound understanding of coagulation and associated disorders; and
understand the techniques used to investigate coagulation and the therapies that can be applied to coagulopathies.
evaluate how pathology contributes to the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of disease; and
understand the techniques used in pathology associated with specific disease processes, including their limitations.
Haematology with Blood Transfusion 2 is designed to provide you with the opportunity to extend your knowledge and understanding of methods of investigation and clinical significance of laboratory results in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease, with specific reference to coagulopathies and transfusion science. Audits will be used to assess an aspect of current hospital practice and as an aid to becoming more familiar with current transfusion guidelines.
The main aims of the module are to develop an in-depth understanding of coagulation and transfusion science and to gain critical evaluation skills applicable to the analysis and assessment of techniques applied in haematology and the significance of results in health and disease.
To pass this module, you must be able to: evaluate laboratory practice against transfusion guidelines and be able to recommend changes to practice to meet the standards required;
