Horiba UK Ltd is to host In practice haematology - beyond the pale!, a free CPD webinar presented by Ronnie Barron from the University of Glasgow Veterinary School, on Thursday 28th October at 7:30pm.

Ronnie (pictured right) will look at quality control and artefacts of sample quality and review the effects of different pathologies.

By examining analyser output, he'll demonstrate how abnormalities of cells and plasma may affect measured parameters and their indices.

Using images, photomicrographs and video links, he'll move onto explain the techniques and equipment needed to complement analytical automation in order to confirm results quality. 

Ronnie said: “We now have more near patient testing in veterinary haematology than ever before. Quality is key to best practice and ultimately superior patient care.

"Sod’s Law states that ‘if something can go wrong, it will!’, so along the way to your generating a Complete Blood Count, it pays to be aware of some of the pitfalls that you may encounter.

“One should never underestimate the value of gross exam and simple methods that can be used to ensure sample quality and results accuracy. Seeing is believing after all!” 

There will also be an open Q&A session with Ronnie after the presentation, so attendees are invited to bring any questions on all things haematology.
