About This Podcast

Welcome to Basics to Brilliance, the podcast created to supplement & bolster your knowledge of Haematology.
Featuring a two way, non-didactic conversational-style Q&A between the SpR and SHO, this podcast will be your pocket companion no matter where you are.

We aim to cover: 
- Malignant and non-malignant topics

- Science/lab detail

- UK guidelines, hallmark trials and how these translate into clinical practice

- Future research directions

- The whole syllabus for FRCPath part 1


All readily accessible and completely free of charge!

For every budding haematologist out there, we hope this podcast aids you in your endeavours and fills you with interest and excitement for the brilliant world of Haematology. 

Warmest Regards,
Dr. Everden
Dr. Fasey
Dr. Jafri
