Module details for 2022/23.

FHEQ Level 5
Module Outline
This module intends to introduce students to two important disciplines in medicine, namely Haematology and Anatomy. It will consist of a series of lectures and practicals to supplement teaching. Lectures in anatomy will cover the various structures in the human body and how structures such as muscle, skin, bone, organs etc. are organized in different anatomical regions of the body. Students will be given the opportunity to experience the dissection hall at the BSMS.
The haematology lectures aim at providing knowledge of normal and abnormal haemology. This will include the functions of bone marrow, the different blood cells and their role, haemostasis, common haematological disorders such as anemias, leukemias, disorders of clotting and a discussion on blood grouping and transfusion. The practicals will include an investigation of prepared blood films for different RBC and WBC abnormalities.
