About the Book

Essential practical manual for all those working in modern transfusion medicine Why Buy This Book? Concise and 'user friendly' guide to transfusion medicine Provides guidance for everyday clinical questions Revised and updated throughout to reflect rapid developing areas Scope broadened by including experts from the USA "Overall, I would recommend this book strongly to anyone wishing to learn how blood is collected, processed and administered.

Review :
"Drs Murphy, Pamphilon, and colleagues have provided a singular service to the profession in putting together this comprehensive, superbly written yet concise book." Transfusion "...this is one of few physician-oriented texts of transfusion medicine that is short and current enough for medical students, residents, and fellows, while still useful as a reference for attending physicians and consultants on both sides of the pond." Transfusion "...not only complements the library of textbooks in a transfusion medicine unit, but is of specific aid in any unit that is involved directly with the care of patients. It certainly justifies its title, 'Practical' Transfusion Medicine." Vox Sanguinis "As this book provides rapid reference and aid as a result of its clear instructions and layout, it is a very useful textbook for both trainees and senior clinicians of all clinical fields, who want to learn or refresh their knowledge concerning clinical aspects of transfusion medicine." Vox Sanguinis "...prodigiously replete with useful pieces of information that are well structured and integrated in an up-todate textbook. The aim of the editors has been to present a comprehensive source of transfusion medicine, and their effort has certainly met with astounding success." European Journal of Haematology "...this edition provides an excellent update, which I strongly recommend to the transfusion medicine community." British Journal of Biomedical Science "This textbook will be a useful addition to any library used by those interested in obtaining an up-to-date and practical grasp of transfusion medicine and its editors are to be congratulated." Clinical and Laboratory Haematology "I have discussed the contents and presentation with both scientific and clinical colleagues and they have been enthusiastic about both. Medical trainees, in particular, from a wide range of specialities will find this as a useful and accessible text, which will answer many of the problems not considered in more general textbooks. The size and format of the book will appeal to those working for specialist examinations who want a brief understanding of transfusion medicine rather than an in depth knowledge." Clinical and Laboratory Haematology ON THE PREVIOUS EDITION "Overall, I would recommend this book strongly to anyone wishing to learn how blood is collected, processed and administered. I certainly advise my haematology trainees to read it before taking their exams, and would expect a copy to find its way onto the shelves of most senior haematologists."
