	Heparin Induced Thrombocytopaenia
	Heparin Induced Thrombocytopaenia

The Primary (

) and Final (

) FRCA examinations require an extensive knowledge of coagulation. We have therefore written a new educational resource section on the subject of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopaenia. The tutorials have been tailored to the FRCA syllabus and we have also added some past questions relevant to these topics.
