Publications

Articles, presentations and scientific papers

The Blood Stocks Management Scheme (BSMS) provides valuable material to participants in a variety of formats including reports, presentations, articles and posters. To continue to engage with our users we also produce newsletters.

These newsletters are designed to keep you informed of any important developments within the world of blood stocks, as well as providing snapshots of useful information.

We hope you find them an interesting read and if you or your hospital would like to feature in one of our newsletters, perhaps with a success story, we would like to hear from you. Contact us at bsms@nhsbt.nhs.uk
