Extension Seminar in Haematology

The Extension Seminar in Haematology will be delivered as an online self-paced learning package followed by a live virtual seminar on 15 October 2022. It is suitable for pharmacists with experience in managing haematological malignancies who are looking to extend or consolidate their knowledge and skills.

The seminar covers key concepts in managing acute leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, relapsed and refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma. The self-paced learning package includes didactic sessions from multidisciplinary specialists focusing on fundamentals of these malignancies. The knowledge and skills learned during these sessions will then be consolidated in interactive case study sessions and through Q&A session/s with expert presenters.
