Blood morphology in practice: From smear to clinical insight

Presented by Marta Costa
Sponsor: IDEXX
This session provides a practical, case driven exploration of blood smear evaluation and its role in everyday clinical decision making. Tips for making a good blood smear are included, an essential step for blood morphology assessment that is often overlooked. Through real case examples, the session highlights how integrating analyser outputs with blood smear findings can improve diagnostic accuracy, support early identification of abnormalities, and enhance confidence in interpreting haematological patterns in general practice.
Presented at BVA Live 2026 in IDEXX Advanced Diagnostics Theatre on 11 June 2026, from 11:15 to 12:00.
