Blood film examinations are a critical part of haematology. Every haematology sample processed in the practice laboratory should be accompanied by a blood film examination. Morphology checks can provide important timely information that can have a direct impact on treatment and patient outcomes. As nurses we can play a key role in blood film examinations and is a great opportunity for us to shine! Join me for a fun and informative Webinar.

1. Identify common erythrocyte morphology changes and understand their significance
2. Identify the different leucocytes and the common morphology changes and patterns.
3. Learn how to undertake simple by accurate manual platelet counts.
