"BSH supports trainees with educational resources and excellent guidelines and I wanted to contribute to that. "

Amany I. Mohamed, Communications Committee 

"Since becoming a member of the BSH Haem-onc taskforce I have really enjoyed the opportunity to be involved in discussions around new guideline proposals as well as reviewing new or updated guidelines before they are published.  It is a friendly, approachable group with a broad range of interests across haemato-oncology - I really enjoy sharing ideas and learning from others in the meetings which take place every 3 months. "

BSH Image Library

Images for the BSH Image Library needed

We would like to expand the BSH image library on the BSH website so that it becomes a ‘go to’ resource for both teaching and training for haematologists at all levels. We are looking for good quality typical images of a variety of diagnoses. This might be a blood film +/- bone marrow aspirate/trephine but also could include characteristic features in flow plots or cytogenetic/FISH images.

To start with we would value images of representative cases of acute myeloid leukaemia which demonstrate characteristic morphological features described in their subtypes. A very short description (<100 words) of the case would be valued.  

We need good quality images so please refer to the guide on the website as to image size.

As this is an educational website, all images and their vignettes should be able to demonstrate educational value or highlight a learning point. We are keen to reduce esoteric images that have limited educational value.

Submit your image.
