Pgs 1-104.095327893Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12417/1353SHOT is affiliated to the Royal College of PathologistsOf the 426 hospitals eligible to participate, 155 (36.4%) submitted initial reports during the reporting year, an increase of 5.8% over the previous year and an overall increase of 14.3% since the scheme began. A further 150 hospitals sent “Nil to report” cards indicating that they had seen no incidents during the reporting year. Overall participation is only 72% (305/426) this year compared with 77.8% last year. This apparent decrease in participation may be misleading, however, given that response to the “Nil to report” exercise this year was comparatively poor. Only 246 hospitals (57.7% of those eligible) had returned their cards by the time this report went to press and two of these did not give information about participation.enSerious Hazards of TransfusionBlood TransfusionTransfusion Reaction
