Welle 7, next to Bern main station
About the event
After an extended period with webinars, online meetings and virtual coffee breaks, we are pleased to invite you to the Haemovigilance Workshop 2023 in Bern.
This year’s focal topics are near misses/transfusion errors and alloimmunisations/haemolytic transfusion reactions. In addition to sharing knowledge, our aim is to identify ways to improve transfusion and thus also patient safety.
The workshop will be a mixture of specialist presentations and joint discussion of concrete examples from haemovigilance. Participants are welcome to ask questions or present examples from their own experience.
The target audience are persons working in haemovigilance, especially those in clinics, immunohaematology labs and quality assurance. Haemovigilance aspects from the production of labile blood products are not a focus of this workshop.
The workshop was designed as an on-site event, because meeting in person and getting to know one another are additional important aspects of the event. We also offer a simplified online broadcast via Teams should you be unable to join us in Bern. Please note the conditions for participating online.
