Blood Smear Evaluation: The good, the bad, the ugly

Even with the most sophisticated haematology analysers, there are instances where evaluating the blood smear provides us with helpful and actionable clinical information that will have an impact on patient care and would otherwise not be detected. In this session we will review the good (what is normal), recognise the bad (what is abnormal) and acknowledge the ugly (what should ideally be reviewed by a referral laboratory or needs auxiliary testing) when examining blood smears from our patients.
