Abstract

Objectives: To report the UK experience of rolling out Transfusion Camp.

Background: Transfusion Camp is a structured education programme developed in Toronto, with the aim of reducing knowledge gaps in transfusion medicine in postgraduate trainees. It consists of didactic lectures viewed online by the participants, then interactive, locally delivered seminars. Since 2015, it has been rolled out in the United Kingdom, and is now available in four centres. Here, we report the UK experience of Transfusion Camp and outcomes.

Methods: Trainees are recruited via the training programme directors in each region. Pre- and post-course assessments are administered using the validated BEST (Biomedical Excellence for Safer Transfusion) test, with possible scores 0-20, and confidence measured on an A-E Likert scale.

Results: Since 2015, 130 trainees have participated in Transfusion Camp in the United Kingdom. Trainees from all specialties significantly improved their BEST-test scores after attending the course (mean score 11.6/20 before the course, compared with 14.3/20 after the course), and confidence in managing transfusion-related issues was also significantly improved.

Conclusion: We recommend that all centres consider offering Transfusion Camp to trainees in haematology and other specialties that frequently use blood transfusions, such as anaesthesia/ICU, Internal Medicine and others.

输血训练营：英国的经验及其在提高研究生学员输血医学知识方面的价值。

目的：报告英国推广输血营的经验：报告英国推广输血营的经验：输血营是多伦多开发的一项结构化教育计划，旨在减少研究生学员在输血医学方面的知识差距。它由参与者在线观看的说教式讲座，以及在当地举办的互动式研讨会组成。自 2015 年起，该课程在英国推广，目前已有四个中心开设了该课程。在此，我们将报告英国输血营的经验和成果：方法：通过各地区的培训项目主任招募学员。采用经过验证的BEST（生物医学卓越安全输血）测试进行课前和课后评估，可能的分数为0-20分，并采用A-E李克特量表测量信心：自 2015 年以来，已有 130 名学员参加了在英国举办的输血训练营。来自所有专业的学员在参加课程后，其BEST测试得分均有明显提高（课程前平均得分为11.6/20，课程后为14.3/20），管理输血相关问题的信心也有显著提高：我们建议所有中心考虑为血液学和其他经常使用输血的专业（如麻醉/重症监护室、内科等）的学员提供输血训练营。

期刊介绍： Transfusion Medicine publishes articles on transfusion medicine in its widest context, including blood transfusion practice (blood procurement, pharmaceutical, clinical, scientific, computing and documentary aspects), immunohaematology, immunogenetics, histocompatibility, medico-legal applications, and related molecular biology and biotechnology. In addition to original articles, which may include brief communications and case reports, the journal contains a regular educational section (based on invited reviews and state-of-the-art reports), technical section (including quality assurance and current practice guidelines), leading articles, letters to the editor, occasional historical articles and signed book reviews. Some lectures from Society meetings that are likely to be of general interest to readers of the Journal may be published at the discretion of the Editor and subject to the availability of space in the Journal.
