SummaryThe course covers the breadth and fascination of haematology, oncology and breast disease. There is a strong overlap between these subjects in the treatment of malignancies, but in addition there are important areas of non-malignant haematology and breast disease. The programme integrates these three subjects to a certain extent for teaching purposes, however they are separate specialities and therefore their distinct identities will be maintained in a co-ordinated manner.
