    Professor of Diagnostic Haematology at Imperial College, London, and Honorary Consultant Haematologist, St Mary's Hospital. An experienced and popular teacher of both undergraduates and postgraduates, Chairman of the Haematology Teaching Committee at Imperial College, a member of the British Society for haematology Teaching Committee, which is preparing teaching materials specifically for medical students. the author of eleven previous haematology textbooks (many into their third or fourth edition) but this is her first textbook specifically for undergraduates. Her clear writing style is widely admired.


    This textbook is written by a renowned haematologist with more than 30 years of experience in teaching haematology to medical students and whose pedagogical and writing skills are widely admired within the field. Following closely the current curriculum of Imperial College London, medical students, trainee nurses and biomedical science students from other institutions will find the textbook equally suitable, since it includes the core student haematology curriculum as recommended by the Royal College of Pathologists and the British Society of Haematology expert group. This text will be equally suitable for students outside the UK.

    The textbook takes a useful, practical approach, incorporating self-evaluation questions and learning objectives that give students not only the information needed to understand the topic but also clear indications on the core knowledge that students are required to know in order to progress within the field of haematology.
