TranslateBlood Transfusion and Blood Donation
This PSP will survey the views of patients, carers and health professionals to identify and prioritise the most pressing unanswered questions about the therapeutic use of red blood cells, platelets and plasma in patients of any age and in any hospital department. It will do this across the whole clinical pathway from blood donation through to recovery from transfusion, including treatment strategies that provide alternatives to using blood.
The PSP is funded by NHS Blood and Transplant, in collaboration with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, and began its work in October 2015.
