Clinical Challenges: Blood Dilemmas

The Clinical Challenges in General Practice Webinar Series consist of live and recorded interactive panel discussions regarding the diagnosis and management of challenging cases often seen in general practice.

Your webinar host is Associate Professor Stephen Barnett, an experienced general practitioner and online educator. Dr Barnett invites a range of specialist colleagues to explore the difficult questions that occur in the management of a range of conditions, including arthritis, metabolic conditions, testing and dermatology.

All webinars are free and accredited by RACGP and ACRRM.

In this session, we will cover Blood Dilemmas: Iron Studies, Thrombocytopaenia, Neutropaenia - when to wait and when to worry. Dr Abir Bhattacharyya, Haematologist, and our GP facilitator A/Prof Stephen Barnett discuss practical approaches to challenging haematology cases.

When iron studies are abnormal, or when white cells and platelets are a bit low, when do we wait and when do we worry? How much can we do in primary care, and when should we get some specialist advice?
