Brief Description
This year’s session will look at various aspects of plasma from haemovigilance, manufacture and storage along with novel emergency products and their benefits. We feel it is an ideal opportunity for us to reflect on this. Given the area we have chosen we have managed to attract some excellent local speakers to present in this topical area and expect that the session will give scientists an ideal opportunity to discuss/debate many of the important aspects in this key area of blood components.
