From abnormal coagulation studies to incidental findings of cytopaenia, this podcast gives you a breakdown of how to systematically organise and formulate concise haematology referrals.

Join basic physician trainee, Dr Tushar Goyal, and haematology advanced trainee, Dr Meena Nagarethinam, as they navigate through this innately complex speciality.
