"Paediatric HSCT: What Blood Group?" Presented by Martina Williams, Chief Medical Scientist, CHI at Crumlin

Webinar Tuesday March 8th 2022 at 1pm

Haematopoetic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) is a life saving procedure for a small cohort of paediatric patients. Supporting patients following a blood group mismatched HSCT is a particular challenge for the Blood Transfusion laboratory. Through a series of case studies this presentation will discuss some of these challenges and the decision making process around appropriate blood product selection.
