Product Description

Review

"...it is an excellent publication, providing a springboard into the fascinating discipline of haematology at all levels, including medical students, MRCP students and, I have to say, a superb primer for MRCPath candidates. In addition, if you have to teach medical students, the chapters in the book clearly provide the essential haematology. It remains at the top of my basic reading list."

The Bulletin of the Royal College if Pathologists

"...an excellent book, and relevant to years 1 to 5. It gives that other classic, Churchill–Livingstone′s "Colour Illustrated guide to Haematology" a damn good run for its money (I′d say this one wins it by a nose)."

On previous editions:"This is a beautiful book... packed with superb colour figures, laboratory and clinical illustrations, and is magnificently laid out. The text is clearly written, contains excellent, up–to–date background science, comprehensive clinical and laboratory data and sensible advice on the management of a full range of haematological disorders. My own students were delighted to see a copy and were unanimous in their view that this is a high quality bargain." Journal of Clinical Pathology

"The molecular and biochemical aspects of modern haematology are simply and clearly explained throughout, so encouraging students to read further from the comprehensive reading list at the end of each chapter. The diagrams are particularly clear and pertinent, and the black & white plates are of reasonable standard for a book of this size. It is a difficult book to fault and must take first place as the undergraduates′ handbook for haematology." British Medical Journal

Published Reviews of the 4th Edition

"In summary, it is an excellent textbook and can be wholeheartedly recommended."

Northwing, vol.67, no.2, Autumn/Winter 2002

This is a beautiful book... packed with superb colour figures, laboratory and clinical illustrations, and is magnificently laid out.

Format:Paperback
This book is a comprehensive text covering all aspects of haematology for both under- and postgraduate students. Covering all the major topics including genetics, classification, clinical aspect and staging and treatment, it can be used at all stages of your undergraduate training. Easy to read and highly informative it is divided up into manageable chapters with haematological malignancies also covered. It uses numerous photographs to illustrate clinical features and references at the end of each chapter provide an excellent basis for further reading. Overall an essential text for both students and doctors to have on their shelves!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you actually work in a hospital haematology lab I'm sure you'll be able to get this from work but I am obsessed with textbooks and therefore had to purchase my own copy! So in depth about numerous haematological conditions including haemoglobinopathies, coagolpathies, anaemias and leukaemias as well as other conditions where blood test results would be anomalous, packed with pictures, blood film scans and tables - very easy to understand but also incredibly detailed.

Format:Paperback
Haematology is an under-taught area of the undergraduate medical curriculum not clearly sitting in any of the general fields which as medical students we are exposed to.

This book is really well illustrated with some very insightful microscopy slides with good text to back it up and explain the material. This is in some contrast to the competition out there.

On the negative side however, there is more detail than the undergraduate needs, but this is admitted in the preface and blue lines indicate the 'extension material' which is necessary for 'honours students'!

I've always had problems with understanding haematological malignancies and this book has proven very helpful in this regard. It's a useful reference which can go a long way to addressing the gap between what is taught and what is expected! Whether you're a medical student or junior doctor this is a great book.

Best book for Haem
Great for med students/Core medical trainees alike. Easy to understand so you don't need the med dictionary on hand too.
