It’s good to celebrate, in a year where we consolidated the hard work achieved in 2021 following our amalgamation. We have continued to share best practice and support each other across all transfusion disciplines despite the many challenges within each hospital, not least the first ever Amber Alert red cell shortage. This saw transfusion teams across the region work alongside colleagues to manage blood use, reduce stock holding and orders – thank you for your very positive response.
