This 12th edition celebrates the 66th year of Practical
Haematology, a notable achievement. The first edition by
JV (later Professor Sir John) Dacie was published in 1950.
This work, and subsequent editions with Mitchell Lewis as
co-author,
were based on the haematology course for the
University of London Diploma of Clinical Pathology and
subsequently the MSc in Haematology at the then Royal
Postgraduate Medical School.
In the last 66 years the techniques and instrumentation
available to the laboratory haematologist have expanded
at a rate once undreamed of. What has not changed is that
laboratory haematology continues to provide the bedrock
that supports the equally astonishing developments in
clinical haematology. Haematology as a discipline remains
strongest when it is an integrated discipline with a very
close relationship between the laboratory and the clinical
service. Reflecting this ideal state, the authors of this
edition
include laboratory scientists and clinical and laboratory
haematologists.
The 12th edition, like its predecessors, incorporates
the latest advances in laboratory haematology while
continuing
to describe traditional techniques that remain
applicable, particularly, but not only, in under-resourced
laboratories in low- and middle-income countries.
It is with sadness that we record the death of one of the
authors, Ms Carol Briggs, BSc FIBMS, during the preparation
of this edition.
We are honoured to have taken over the editorship of
Practical Haematology from our distinguished predecessors,
Sir John Dacie and Dr Mitchell Lewis. We hope that our
efforts have done them justice.
