Haematology

Supervising Committee

Joint Specialist Advisory Committee (JSAC) in Haematology

Definition of the Specialty

Paediatric Haematology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of a range of benign and neoplastic disorders of the blood and blood forming tissues of childhood and adolescence, including disorders of coagulation and abnormalities of red blood cells, bone marrow and marrow transplantation; and leukaemias and lympho-proliferative disorders.

General Principles

1. Training in Paediatric Haematology can be by one of two pathways: clinical training leading to practice as a clinical paediatric haematologist or via joint training with the Royal College of Pathologists of Australia (RCPA) leading to practice as a haematopathologist. Both pathways will be supervised by the JSAC Haematology which will report to the CPPT.
   
2. If undertaking joint training, you must be enrolled with both Colleges throughout training.
   
3. Training should be undertaken in more than one institution to increase the breadth and depth of training.
   
4. Mandatory requirements must be completed
