Haematology is a rapidly changing subject, and it is therefore difficult for students of medicine, veterinary science or biomedical sciences to attain the level of knowledge required to get the most from their studies and interpret and learn from scientific papers in the subject. This book is intended to bridge the gap between what students already know and the latest "cutting edge" advances in the subject. As such, it is aimed primarily at final year undergraduate students and those embarking on postgraduate qualifications, as well as trainee laboratory staff.
