An intensive, faculty-led educational bootcamp providing haematology registrars with practical, case-based training in haemostasis and haemoglobinopathies, supporting specialist knowledge, clinical decision-making and examination preparation.

TOPICS COVERED

The Haemostasis & Haemoglobinopathies Bootcamp is a specialist educational programme designed to strengthen the clinical knowledge and practical skills of haematology registrars.
Delivered by an experienced faculty of consultant haematologists and subject specialists, the programme will explore important areas of haemostasis and haemoglobinopathies, combining current clinical practice with the knowledge required for postgraduate specialist examinations.

Key topics are expected to include:

• Haemoglobinopathies: Sickle cell disease and thalassaemia, including diagnosis, investigation, clinical management and complications.
• Bleeding disorders: Haemophilia and other inherited or acquired disorders of haemostasis, with emphasis on diagnostic approaches and management principles.
• Platelet disorders: Investigation and management of thrombocytopaenia, including immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
• Thrombotic disorders: Assessment, investigation and management of thrombosis.
• Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH): Diagnostic considerations and approaches to clinical management.
• Teaching will incorporate clinical case discussions, interactive questions and opportunities for delegates to explore diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making with the faculty.
• Particular emphasis will be placed on translating theoretical knowledge into practical clinical application, developing confidence in interpreting investigations and supporting preparation for haematology specialist examinations.
• The programme aims to encourage active participation, discussion and knowledge sharing between trainees and experienced clinicians, providing an educational environment that complements workplace-based training.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Primarily haematology specialty registrars at all stages of training, particularly those preparing for postgraduate specialist examinations. The programme may also benefit newly appointed consultants and other healthcare professionals seeking to consolidate their knowledge of haemostasis and haemoglobinopathies.
