Advanced Transfusion Masterclass returns this autumn
The theme of the masterclass is neonatal and paediatric transfusion
The Advanced Transfusion Masterclass, coordinated by NHSBT’s Scientific and Clinical Training and Education (SCTE) team, returns this autumn with a brand-new theme: neonatal and paediatric transfusion.
Aimed at practicing specialist or advanced biomedical scientists and beyond, the sessions will include a mix of clinical and laboratory perspectives, with a strong emphasis on sharing practical insights.
Proposed topics for the day include:
- SHOT report 2024 - paediatric cases and the impact of lab errors/delays
- new paediatric guidelines: implications for hospital transfusion labs and NHSBT
- managing paediatric haemoglobinopathy patients
- maximising small paediatric samples for complex investigations
- Donath-Landsteiner antibody and paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria (PCH) diagnosis
- Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT)
- managing major haemorrhage in paediatrics
The same programme will be delivered on the following dates, giving you the flexibility to choose the session that best fits your diary:
- 2 October 2025
- 10 December 2025
- 11 February 2026
The full programme will be released shortly.
NHS England fully funded places are available to NHS staff.
