Haematology and BMT: Understanding Treatment, Management and Care

Overview

The next intake is: May 2025

This module will develop a student’s knowledge and understanding of haematological disorders and their treatment, care and rehabilitation of patients.

Students will synthesise theoretical evidence and research based knowledge to inform clinical practice and role development in haematology and BMT care delivery.

Learning is through a combination of lectures and seminars, providing students with the opportunity to acquire an in-depth knowledge of policy, organisation and delivery of care, and the biological basis of haematological disorders and their treatment. Group discussions will help to share practice and consolidate knowledge. Directed study will help students to develop individual portfolios of learning which can be related to their own clinical areas.

This module is subject to having a viable number of students to run.
