Essential Haematology - my review	Customer Rating:
An extraordinarily comprehensive textbook covering all aspects of Haematology, brought to life by fantastic use of full colour illustrations, diagrams and photographs. Since a thorough knowledge of Haematology is the backbone of medical diagnosis, this book is definitely to be recommended to all medical students...and beyond!

Lots of detail but a useful reference!

Customer Rating:

Haematology is an under-taught area of the undergraduate medical curriculum not clearly sitting in any of the general fields which as medical students we are exposed to. This book is really well illustrated with some very insightful microscopy slides with good text to back it up and explain the material. This is in some contrast to the competition out there. On the negative side however, there is more detail than the undergraduate needs, but this is admitted in the preface and blue lines indicate the 'extension material' which is necessary for 'honours students'! I've always had problems with understanding haematological malignancies and this book has proven very helpful in this regard. It's a useful reference which can go a long way to addressing the gap between what is taught and what is expected! Whether you're a medical student or junior doctor this is a great book.

Essential Haematology

Customer Rating:

Essential Haematology is an excellent core text. Filled with coloured diagrams, radiographs, and clinical pictures the text is beautifully illustrated through out. The book is laid out in an easy to understand way and is comprehensively and concisely written covering the basic medical sciences of haematological disorders, Clinical featres, Diagnostic Tests and Management of various conditions. This book is useful to not only medical students and nurses but also Junior doctors as well.

Basic Reading

Customer Rating:

Currently working in Haematology , I felt that this text sat out of place with me - it was too bulky to have sitting around in a pocket or Junior Doctors office desk , and also more basic than the excellent Oxford Handbook - but it was made redundant at home by the availability of Postgraduate Haematology and the invaluable source of information available on the internet . It is comprehensive enough for medical students , but I felt that further depth would be useful - having heard some questions that students have asked . In terms of layout and presentation , though , it is very pleasing on the eye , and deserves to not be underestimated as a starter text .
