NHS Blood & Transplant project keynote video - Colin Butcher XDelta
NHS Blood & Transplant (NHSBT) is part of the UK’s National Health Service and is responsible
for blood services and organ transplantation throughout the UK. The organization manages the
supply of blood to hospitals throughout England and North Wales, tracking blood from when it is
first donated, through its testing and separation into various products, and, finally, to its dispatch
to hospitals.
NHSBT has a particularly important role to play following any major incident where people might
be injured and where blood is urgently needed to save lives. Therefore, the efficient operation of
NHSBT’s computing infrastructure is of paramount importance in ensuring that patients receive
the blood they require.
