RCPAQAP Haematology Workshops 2026

Delivered by leading laboratory and clinical experts, these workshops combine evidence-based presentations, practical case studies, and interactive discussions to provide knowledge and practical learnings that can be applied directly to laboratory and clinical practice. While each workshop focuses on a distinct area of haematology, participants will gain practical knowledge, develop greater confidence in diagnostic interpretation, and explore current challenges and emerging developments in their field. Who Should Attend? • Medical scientists • Haematologists and clinicians • Pathology trainees • Laboratory managers and supervisors • Laboratory professionals involved in haematology testing Connect with the Experts Engage with leading scientists, clinicians, trainees, and industry professionals from across Australia and the broader region. Share experiences, discuss common challenges, and build professional networks within the haematology community. APACE Credits Available Virtual Attendance Available For added flexibility, virtual registration is available for both workshops, allowing participants to attend remotely. Access details will be provided to registered virtual attendees before the event. Haemostasis & Thrombosis Workshop Date: Tuesday, 10 November Join leading experts for a comprehensive workshop exploring the latest advances, challenges, and best-practice approaches in haemostasis and thrombosis testing. This workshop focuses on bleeding and clotting disorders, including advances in von Willebrand factor (vWF) testing, ADAMTS13, viscoelastic testing, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), rare bleeding disorders, quality assurance, and the interpretation of complex haemostasis results. What will you gain from attending? • Stay current with developments in haemostasis testing, including advances in von Willebrand factor (vWF) testing, ADAMTS13, and viscoelastic testing. • Strengthen your diagnostic confidence through expert-led discussions on rare bleeding disorders, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), and complex clinical cases. • Develop practical approaches to interpreting challenging results and understanding variability in point-of-care testing. • Explore how laboratory data can be effectively applied to support clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes. • Gain valuable insights from experts on delivering accurate, reliable, and high-quality haemostasis testing. Whether you are looking to refresh your knowledge, stay abreast of emerging developments, or deepen your expertise, this workshop offers an excellent opportunity for professional development and peer engagement. Haemoglobinopathy Workshop Date: Thursday, 12 November Strengthen your understanding of haemoglobinopathies and thalassaemias through this comprehensive workshop, covering both foundational concepts and complex diagnostic and clinical scenarios. This workshop focuses on inherited red cell disorders, including thalassaemia, haemoglobin variants, and sickle cell disease. Participants will gain practical insights into laboratory investigations and diagnostic challenges across antenatal, paediatric, and transfusion settings. What will you gain from attending? • Build your knowledge of haemoglobinopathies, including thalassaemias, haemoglobin variants, and sickle cell disorders. • Gain confidence in selecting and interpreting laboratory investigations across antenatal, paediatric, and transfusion settings. • Explore real-world case studies and develop practical strategies for managing complex diagnostic challenges. • Learn how to maximise the value of your RCPAQAP reports to support quality improvement and patient care. • Discover emerging developments and current best practices in haemoglobinopathy testing and clinical management. Whether you are new to the field or seeking to broaden your expertise, this interactive workshop will provide valuable knowledge and practical approaches you can apply immediately in laboratory and clinical settings. You are welcome to register for both days. Simply register for one day at a time and complete a separate registration for the second day.
