The Advanced Transfusion Masterclass 2026-27 will focus on Pan-reactivity, providing an in-depth look at complex clinical practice and laboratory investigations in this area. This will be using different cases from when the pan-reactivity theme was last run in 2024.
Delivered virtually over Zoom, through interactive case-based learning, you will gain practical insights into the challenges of transfusion in those who present with pan-reactivity and share learning with peers and experts.
Programme highlights include:
• Techniques used in specialist laboratories to investigate pan-reactive antibodies
• Investigating pan-reactivity in blood grouping
• How do hospital transfusion laboratories handle pan-reactive cases?
• Approaching complex patients: The clinical perspective
Delivered through interactive case study sessions
