Welcome to Serious Hazards of Transfusion (SHOT).
SHOT is the United Kingdom independent, professionally-led haemovigilance scheme. Since 1996 SHOT has been collecting and analysing anonymised information on adverse events and reactions in blood transfusion from all healthcare organisations that are involved in the transfusion of blood and blood components in the United Kingdom.
We are very pleased to share informative videos covering key areas relevant to transfusion safety and haemovigilance in UK. We are very grateful for the funding received from Health Education England to support this development. We hope that you find these useful and share them widely. Please contact us at [email protected] with any further suggestions or queries. All annual SHOT reports can be accessed at https://www.shotuk.org/shot-reports/
