Blood Service in Brief October 2016

◄ Back to Transfusion News

From the Chief Executive

Blood science in Australia is a field where women have had a long history of leadership. This edition, we’re recognising and showcasing some of these extraordinary contributors to the sector, past and present.

In more recent news, we also have a revealing report on national red cell demand trends for 2015/16, and what these trends might mean for the future.

Finally, we also have some Australian and international collaborations bearing fruit, education on antibody identification, and reveal the reason behind letters going missing across the world.

I hope you enjoy Blood Service in Brief.

Kind regards,

Shelly Park
Chief Executive
