Haematological Diseases (6577)

Symptoms of haematological diseases are usually non-specific at presentation and may include fatigue, anaemia, unresolving infection/fever, persistent sore gums and unintentional weight loss.

With GPs frequently presented with borderline results, the need for a Haematological follow-up is often considered. When should GPs be concerned? What do these results mean? What is the recommended follow-up?

This free seminar will provide an update for general practice on multiple myeloma, lymphoma and myeloproliferative disorders. The session will include case studies that reflect general practice.
