Abstract
The year’s key recommendations focus on the need for integration of transfusion medicine into the teaching and training curricula for junior hospital doctors, and nursing and scientific staff involved in transfusion. This goes beyond assessment of basic competencies and is recognising the need for solid knowledge and understanding of transfusion therapies so that sound decisions can be made in clinical practice. As previously, these recommendations have been made after consultation with stakeholders to ensure support for their implementation. The final responsibility for ensuring action in relation to hospital-based recommendations lies with Trust Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), though the day-to-day responsibility may be delegated to members of the Hospital Transfusion Team (HTT). The recommendations this year appear in three sections of the full SHOT report: SHOT Recommendations of the Year, Active recommendations from previous years: update, Specific recommendations relevant to each reporting category.
