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.

Another successful BSMS Open Meeting was held on May 6th 2009 at the Paragon Hotel in Birmingham. A big thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a success.
