The latest edition of the key haematology text

Haematology, the study and treatment of blood and bone marrow disorders, is a rich and complex discipline that consistently produces cutting-edge medical research. Since 1972, Hoffbrand’s Postgraduate Haematology has acted as the foundational overview and reference text for this subject, introducing generations of trainees and medical residents to the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, and management of blood disorders.

The eighth edition of Hoffbrand’s Postgraduate Haematology, now with a new editorial team including leading clinicians and researchers, promises to continue this tradition of excellence with a fully updated text. Lavishly illustrated, comprehensive, and thoughtfully referenced, it is an indispensable resource.

Readers of the eighth edition of Hoffbrand’s Postgraduate Haematology will also find:

  • Four-color illustrations and photomicrographs of blood cells and tissues throughout to support key topics
  • New sections analysing recent advances in next generation sequencing, genome editing, clonal haematopoiesis, anticoagulant drugs, diagnostic laboratory tools, and more
  • Companion website with downloadable figures and other tools

Hoffbrand’s Postgraduate Haematology is ideal for all postgraduate trainees or residents in haematology, as well as for clinicians and practitioners looking for a reference work on the subject and a guide to the latest research.
