BLOOD GROUP SEROLOGY (BGS)
This course focuses on the study of blood groups and compatibility testing essential for safe blood transfusion. Students learn about antigen-antibody reactions, Rh typing, and crossmatching. It builds proficiency in serological methods vital in transfusion medicine.

ABO System
Learn blood grouping principles.
Antenatal and Immune Haemolytic Serology
Covers antenatal testing, haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, antiglobulin testing and serological investigation of immune red-cell destruction.
Antibody Screening
Detect irregular antibodies.
Compatibility Testing and Antibody Identification
Develops the principles, methods and interpretation used to select compatible blood and identify clinically significant red-cell antibodies.
Donor Blood and Component Practice
Explains donor selection, blood collection, anticoagulant-preservative systems, component preparation, storage, inventory and transfusion-transmitted infection screening.
Immunohaematology Foundations
Introduces the immunological and serological principles that support blood grouping, antibody detection, compatibility testing and safe transfusion practice.
Other Blood Group Systems
Covers clinically important red-cell blood group systems beyond ABO and Rh, including their antigens, antibodies, inheritance and transfusion significance.
Rh System
Study Rh factor and hemolytic disease.
Transfusion Reactions
Understand causes and prevention.
