Practical Book for Hematology Laboratory

The Practical Book for Haematology Laboratory is a resource aimed at laboratory technicians working in the healthcare field, and to clinicians working in the field of haematology. The book includes preliminary information about the routine tests and protocols applied in haematology laboratories, with demonstrations of how tests are performed. Unlike other sources in this field, the book has been prepared in a format that benefits students studying in the medical laboratory programs of vocational schools of health services in their haematology laboratory courses, with space provided for them to write the reports of the tests they have performed. As the haematology test protocols in the book are expressed clearly, step-by-step, students will learn how these tests are performed, and will be able to easily apply them in their professional lives. This book is also intended to serve as a guide to healthcare professionals working in haematology laboratories. Accordingly, the Practical Book for Haematology Laboratory can benefit medical laboratory technicians as well as students studying courses on haematology practices in medical faculties, thus filling a gap in resources in this field.
