Michael Makris on Non-Malignant Haematology
Michael Makris, Emeritus Professor of Haemostasis and Thrombosis at the University of Sheffield, shared on LinkedIn:
”What do you call the specialty of “non-malignant haematology”?
Everybody agrees that non-malignant haematology is not a good term.
Our US colleagues, backed by ASH, have chosen to go with “Classical Hematology”.
I have discussed this with colleagues in the UK and Europe, and have not met a single haematologist who likes the term Classical Haematology.
We now have a new name proposed: Medical Haematology.
A paper in the British Journal of Haematology discusses this in detail, including why this term is preferred to Classical Haematology, and also how this is integrated with hospital medicine and the future of the specialty.
My personal view is that our specialty should be called Medical not Classical Haematology.”
