Masterclass in Laboratory Tests

Masterclass in Laboratory Tests

The Masterclass in Laboratory Tests will expose pharmacists to various clinical scenarios and challenges related to the interpretation of laboratory tests in patients with complex medical needs.  

It will cover the interpretation, application, and limitations of laboratory tests across speciality areas of infectious diseases, haematology, blood gas interpretation, and complex electrolyte management.  Attendees will be challenged to work through interactive case-based sessions which highlight clinical decision-making processes that can be optimised through interpretation of laboratory tests.

This Masterclass is delivered by a combination of pre-seminar materials of approximately 3.5hrs, available from mid-June 2022, followed by a live virtual seminar on Saturday 30 July 2022.

Please note: all attendees will have 18 weeks of access to the pre-seminar preparation materials and resources from your date of enrolment into this page.
