Blood Essentials: All About Bruising, Bleeding, and Iron Management

Are you a GP regularly encountering patients with bruising, bleeding, or iron-related symptoms? Icon Cancer Centre’s free CPD webinar on ‘Blood Essentials’ might be for you!

Bruising, bleeding and iron-related symptoms, while common, can indicate a range of conditions – including non-malignant disorders ranging from iron deficiency to haemophilia, or even blood cancers such as Leukaemia.

In this webinar, leading Clinical Haematologists A/Prof James Morton AM and Dr Melissa Hancock, will guide you through best practice pathways to ensure optimal patient care when these symptoms present in general practice.

Case-study based and GP led, you’ll learn how to identify initial investigations, recognise red flags, and understand treatment options and critical junctures for haematological referral. 

Blood Essentials is part of Icon Cancer Centre’s Haematology & Oncology for General Practice CPD series developed in partnership with Praxhub. This webinar is accredited for 1.5 Educational Activity hours in the 2023-2025 RACGP CPD program.
