Perioperative Blood Management
In January 2023 we launched this collaborative project between RAFT and the NIHR BTRU (Blood Transfusion Research Unit) in Data Driven Transfusion Practice. Our aims are to understand how hospitals in the UK deliver and evaluate perioperative blood management services and assess individuals attitudes and practice.

Data analysis
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project! All the data is now in and we are in the analysis stage. We already think we will have a number of interesting and impactful findings and will keep our collaborators informed of key stages through this process.
Background
This project focuses on organisational structure and variation of practice in regards to perioperative blood management of adults (>18 years). We want to work towards getting a clear picture on what is happening across different hospitals in the UK. This project is designed to be something that is easy and not time consuming, whilst allowing collaborators to increase their experience and achieve key curriculum goals. It will involve an organisational survey along with a survey for individual anaesthetists on their experience and practice in common clinical scenarios. We hope this will not only answer some interesting questions but also identify some key areas for quality improvement.
