    Welcome to BSMS

    The Blood Stocks Management Scheme was established in 2001 to understand and improve blood inventory management across the blood supply chain. Hospitals and Blood Services from the UK and Republic of 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.

    BSMS Regional Meetings 2012

    The Blood Stocks Management Scheme have organised a series of four regional meetings in Liverpool, Birmingham, Oxford and London during May 2012. Registration for these events is now open.

    The regional meetings will be exploring Clinical Blood Use - the AIM II trial and developments to OBOS. Other sessions will include an overview of the BSMS in 2011/12, developments to BSMS in 2012/13, together with two interactive workshops on aspects of inventory management. The workshops will focus on challenges around the stock management of platelets and O Negative.

    The aim of the Road Shows is to share good practice and provide tools to improve blood inventory management.
