This course expands on the content presented in BIO2108 Haematology 1 and is designed to consolidate the student's knowledge and understanding of theoretical and practical haematology in preparation for employment in a clinical haematology laboratory. This course provides a more in-depth study of the pathogenesis and laboratory investigation of haematological disorders and examines the professional responsibilities of the medical laboratory scientist.

This course builds on the foundational study of theoretical and practical haematology presented in BIO2108 Haematology 1 with advanced study of the pathogenesis of inherited and acquired malignant and non-malignant haematological disorders and blood-borne infectious diseases. This course will consolidate the students' knowledge of clinical haematology with a particular focus on blood film morphology, differential diagnosis, selection of appropriate laboratory investigations and appraisal of the clinical significance of the results obtained. Haematology 2 will examine the professional responsibilities of the medical laboratory scientist and prepare the student for employment in a clinical haematology.

This course contains a mandatory residential school for both external and on-campus students. As part of the 精东传媒app's accreditation agreement with the Australian Institute of Medical and Clinical Scientists (AIMS), students are required to attempt and submit all assessment items in this course. Students are also required to attend the mandatory residential school and obtain at least 50% of the marks allocated to the practical/laboratory skills assessment in this course.

On completion of this course students should be able to:

1. illustrate the cellular and molecular components and physiological processes involved in haemopoieses and haemostasis and outline the pathogenesis of the major disorders of haemopoiesis and haemostasis;
2. describe the pathogenesis, and associated blood film morphology, of inherited and acquired erythrocyte membrane disorders, erythrocyte enzymopathies and haematological malignancies;
3. identify blood borne parasites and indicators of malignant, infectious and haemolytic diseases in a peripheral blood film;
4. analyse and interpret data from a wide range of laboratory tests, select appropriate extended laboratory investigations and respond appropriately and professionally to critical results:
5. outline and appraise the therapeutic options available for malignant, thrombotic, haemorrhagic and haemolytic disorders;
6. demonstrate a high level of academic, scientific and professional literacy;
7. outline workplace health and safety issues, quality control and quality assurance, patient confidentiality considerations and professional responsibilities associated with working in a clinical haematology laboratory.
