The purpose of this unit is to demonstrate the practical aspects of transfusion and transplantation sciences and to give students an opportunity to gain some 'hands-on' experience of essential techniques in a variety of research and service laboratories. The unit comprises visits to a variety of laboratories in the Bristol Institute for Transfusion Sciences, the national Blood Service Bristol Blood Centre, and the University of Bristol. The unit will expose students to a wide range of research activities and state-of-the-art diagnostic services, plus a few of the more administrative aspects of transfusion and transplantation. Students will be examined on a log book describing the laboratory visits and practicals.
Aims:
On completion of the course the student should be able to:
These are assessed by the practical reports in the log book
‘Hands-on’ practicals, laboratory demonstrations, visits to specialist services, discussion sessions, journal club discussions.
