Dr Provan is currently Honorary Reader in Autoimmune Haematology at
Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. He studied
molecular genetics at Leicester University before studying
medicine. After junior medical posts in the UK, I undertook
research at The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute from 1993-4 on an
American Traveling fellowship awarded by the Medical Research
Council.
As a general haematologist, his main area of interest within the
field of haematology is immunohaematology which includes diseases
such as autoimmune thrombocytopenia (ITP), neutropenia and
haemolytic anaemia.
He has written several medical books including Molecular
Haematology (Blackwell Science), Oxford Handbook of Clinical
Haematology and Oxford Handbook of Clinical and Laboratory
Investigation, and the ABC of Clinical Haematology (BMJ books).
Being a member of the superb Oxford Handbook series, I
automatically assume this book will be very good and put very
simply, it is very good and certainly lives up to its heritage.
Dont be put off by the title handbook; this is a chunky but
portable book that is full of useful information about the numerous
tests we order on a daily as well as infrequent basis. The net
result is a book that many of us would want to own and a book in
the right hands is likely to be used often.
*Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia*
From the Foreword: "Its size, scope and relevance mean that it is
likely to be used daily as a quick reference and aide-memoire...No
medical student or junior doctor should be without this book (it's
ideal for revision), in fact any doctor at any stage of their
career will find it useful."
*Suzy Lishman, President of The Royal College of Pathologists,
2018*
