Training and Education
The Scientific and Technical Training Team (STT) provides knowledge based training courses in transfusion science and transfusion medicine. Courses range from very basic to advanced topics and are open to medical and scientific staff and healthcare workers. We also co-ordinate training of hospital staff in Transfusion Medicine, providing courses for trainee haematologists. We can occasionally offer places on courses, or work placements, to health care professionals from other countries.
Training is provided in general science (molecular biology, immunology, genetics, statistics and epidemiology) and in these specialties: red cell immunohaematology, microbiology, stem cell biology, components development, histocompatibility and immunogenetics and in platelet and granulocyte immunology. Scientific, technical and clinical aspects are taught together and integrated where appropriate. Courses are delivered by STT staff, senior scientists and clinicians from the NHSBT.
