The workshops will provide an opportunity to:

  • Learn directly from SHOT and MHRA experts
  • Discuss transfusion incidents and share best practice
  • Explore human factors and ergonomics
  • Consider lessons emerging from the Infected Blood Inquiry
  • Network with colleagues across the country
