Haematology 
Clinical Cases Uncovered, eTextbook

With over 20 real patient cases and outcomes, this title in
the Clinical Cases Uncovered series is designed to help
students and junior doctors learn how to recognise and understand
significant diseases in haematology. Each case covers the history
taking, examination, investigations and management of a particular
disease, with question and answer sections to tie in the underlying
basic and clinical science and help build further knowledge and
understanding. At the end of each case there is a review to
consolidate learning with a self-assessment section containing
MCQs, EMQs and SAQs. Including colour blood films, haematology
slides and patient photos throughout to reinforce learning,
understanding and investigative skills, Haematology:
Clinical Cases Uncovered helps prepare for life on the
wards.
