Haematology at a Glance, 4th Edition, is an introductory textbook that surveys basic haematological physiology, diverse blood disorders, and clinical management. It introduces normal blood cell development alongside essential approaches to clinical and laboratory evaluation.
The text addresses benign red and white cell conditions, haematological malignancies, and abnormalities of haemostasis. Discussion also extends to therapeutic interventions, addressing general disease management strategies, the haematological effects of drugs, and clinical procedures.
The volume is designed for medical students and healthcare professionals seeking to reinforce and expand their understanding of haematology. To support independent practice, it provides access to extensive online self-assessment materials through a dedicated companion website.
