Even with the most sophisticated haematology analysers, there are instances where evaluating the blood smear provides us with helpful and actionable clinical information that will have an impact on patient care and would otherwise not be detected. Following from the previous webinars: “Breaking down the haematology…”, in this session we will review a very basic approach to examination of the blood smear. We will address the examination of the blood smear in a systematic way and cover the most common changes that can be detected, or have an impact in que quality of the haematology analyser results. This webinar is provided by BSAVA Education Partner IDEXX. A collection of IDEXX ‘topic of the month’ webinars is available here.
