41% of referrals state blood needed within 4 hours Majority of referrals related to medical rather than surgical indication AIHA Other haematology problem Urgency not relelated to Hb Different immediate indications for urgent and less urgent samples Very prompt response when sample arrives!! Time from blood being available to being transfused is related to stated urgency Commonest problem is panreactive antibody/ auto
None from me Any thoughts? And thank you!
