Haematology is a subject dedicated to the study of haematopoiesis (formation of blood cellular components) and blood-related diseases. For example, thalassemia and haemolytic anaemia are examples of red cell disorders; leucopenia (low white blood cell count) and malignant leukaemia are examples of white cell disorders; coagulopathy (bleeding disorder) and thrombosis (blood clots block blood vessels) are disorders caused by the problems in platelets or coagulation factors. Students gain hands-on laboratory training in the haematology laboratory and use a variety of equipment and instruments, such as haemotology analyser and haemostasis analyser.
