Haematology 2 CXA332
Introduction
In this unit you will integrate and extend prior knowledge and skills about the laboratory differentiation of normal and abnormal haematological health conditions gained in CXA231 Haematology 1. You will systematically investigate the causes, laboratory investigations and treatment of anaemia and neoplastic disorders of the bone marrow and lymphatic system e.g., leukaemia. You will explore these topics using an integrated series of instructional learning activities, tutorials and practical sessions, with an emphasis on the development of theoretical knowledge, professional terminology, laboratory skills, and problem-solving using case studies. Knowledge and skills learned in this unit are transferable across co-taught units Clinical Chemistry 2 (CXA352), Medical Microbiology A (CXA342), in the upcoming unit Transfusion Science (CXA333) and during your Professional Experience Placement units, CXA401, CXA412 and CXA425.
