Episode 21 - On the Wards: Welcome to the Jungle | Your First Haem Ward Round

Bloody Minded

Help! After a disastrous 3 way ward swap you now have to cover the haem ward as an intern in... 45 minutes time. If only there were some way you could get a crash course on everything you might need to know. Well are you in luck today! Join our new guest host Dr Alison Chandler for a whole new subtype of episodes, our new "On the Wards" series.“ These are for those new interns and residents who have been drafted to cover the dreaded haem wards and need to prepare all the practical day to day things.
On this inaugural On The Wards episode we'll cover the haematology ward round, how to read a haematology note and plan for some planned admissions. Keep an eye out for these every so often in between our conventional topics.
