Join us for a practical haematology update exploring abnormal platelets and white cell changes, iron deficiency and ferritin management including infusion decisions, and an overview of B12 assessment. We’ll also highlight key FBC red flags and the most useful pre‑referral investigations to streamline care and support effective collaboration with haematology. Part of Inner West CPD series

Presented by: Dr Scott Dunkley, Haematologist

Learning aim:

• What to consider with abnormal platelets — when to worry, appropriate investigations, and referral thresholds for low or high counts.
• Assessment of abnormal white cells/neutrophils — practical work‑up steps and indicators for urgent review.
• Best‑practice management of low ferritin/iron deficiency — choosing the right oral iron, when to use infusions, how to calculate doses, and when to refer if treatment fails.
• Vitamin B12 deficiency — brief overview of assessment and management if time permits.
• Key red flags in the FBC — findings that require urgent action or specialist input.
• Useful pre‑referral investigations — tests GPs can organise to streamline haematology review.
