This module aims to enhance students' understanding of both the clinical and technical role of diagnostic Haematology and Transfusion Science. They will develop key analytical skills used to assess, investigate and evaluate pathobiology and patient pathways as well as develop evidence-based arguments to support clinical decision-making.
Make evidence-based decisions using current research and technical trends in diagnostic Haematology and Transfusion Science: 1,2,3,4,5Use detailed knowledge of metabolism, pathology and clinical findings to assess, investigate and evaluate pathobiology related topatient pathways and current problems faced by health professionals: 1,2,4,5Critically discuss current issues within the role of practising health care scientists in Blood Sciences, particularly Haematology andTransfusion Science: 1,2,3,4,5Critically appraise scientific publications: 2,3Critically appraise test methodologies principally within Haematology and Transfusion Science: 1,2,3,4,5Analyse complex scientific data to accurately interpret and validate clinical findings in Haematology and Transfusion Science: 1,2,4,5Discuss the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to assessing patient health and clinical need: 1,2,3,4,5
