Haematology
RCPE Symposium Edinburgh
Date: Friday, 25 September 2015
Venue:
Rajshahi Medical College
Overview:
Knowledge of a broad spectrum of haematological issues has become even more important for a range of individuals practising medicine. Many haematological disorders have presentations that bring patients into contact with their GP or with acute care and general medical physicians. Routine investigations often provide results, such as a high haemoglobin, a thrombocytosis or a paraprotein that require appropriate interpretation and further investigation involving haematology departments. It is common to suspect lymphoma when you just don't know what is wrong, everyone deals with patients who are anticoagulated and knowing what to do with patients with venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is also a common scenario for colleagues outside haematology. Finally, as the population demographic changes more medical practitioners need to know how to deal with the issues presented by patients with sickling haemoglobinopathies
Our symposium addresses the common issues above and our expert speakers will give clear clinically orientated approaches to the topics discussed.
Host fellow of the center: Professor Dr. Iftekhar Mahmood
