Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the NATA board of directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to
the 16th NATA Symposium on Patient Blood Management, Haemostasis and
Thrombosis that will take place on April 16-17, 2015 in Prague, Czech Republic.
Whether you participated or not in the first NATA symposium in Prague—10 years
ago, already!—no doubt we will all enjoy (re)discovering this historical
and architectural jewel of Central Europe.
Every year NATA attracts a wide international and multidisciplinary audience,
allowing delegates to share their experiences and network with a variety of
specialists in their respective fields of interest.
In line with our new mission statement—Promoting optimal patient blood
management, haemostasis and thrombosis in everyday clinical practice through a
multidisciplinary approach—the scientific programme covers a wide range of topics
that is sure to interest anaesthesiologists, intensivists, surgeons, haematologists
and transfusion medicine specialists.

April 16-17
This year, notwithstanding our well-established areas of interest, special emphasis
will be placed on evidence-based transfusion practice, optimal management of
bleeding, and the role of iron therapy in patient blood management.
I B
lood Procurement and Transfusion Risks
The scientific programme includes four practical workshops where a limited
number of participants will be offered an excellent opportunity for clinical
discussions and exchange of experience. The topics, carefully selected by the
scientific committee for these interactive workshops, are: available technologies
for cell salvage, management of massive bleeding, perioperative and emergency
management of oral anticoagulants, and design and conduct of clinical trials in
transfusion medicine.
