Taken together the new evidence and practice have changed, refined and in many cases reduced blood use nationally and internationally. This meeting brings together experts in evidence based and clinical practice and leaders in the development of transfusion science to provide broad overview of important and influential developments in transfusion. The meeting will be of wide interest to all those involved in transfusion medicine.
