The Blood Stocks Management Scheme was established in 2001 to understand and improve blood inventory management across the blood supply chain. Hospitals and Blood Centres from England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are currently participating in the scheme.

Central to our work is VANESA, a data management system, where hospital and blood service data is collected. In return participants can view real time data and charts.

Provisional programmes now available for all 2010 Regional Meetings.

Programme detail

Following the success of the BSMS regional meetings in 2008 the BSMS Steering Group have agreed to revisit this format in 2010.

Six regional meetings have been organised at various locations in England and Wales. A flyer and registration form giving more detail are now available.

The focus of the meetings will be around blood component sharing, an important aspect of successful inventory management.
