Blood Transfusion
The Blood Transfusion laboratory provides blood support for a
wide variety of patients across the Trust. This includes both
routine provision and more highly specialised components such as
HLA matched platelets and granulocytes.
The hospital has a large number of bone marrow and stem cell
transplant patients, many of whom require blood products over an
extended period of time.
The department works in close association with the cardiac team,
supporting both surgery and patients on cardiac assisted devices
such as extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and Berlin
heart.
We offer an antibody titre monitoring service for cardiac
transplant, both within the hospital and to referrals from other
centres.
We work closely with NHS Blood and Transplant, to whom we can
refer samples for specialist testing and further investigation of
serological problems.
