Blood transfusion services
Dear West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust,
I'd be grateful if you could provide me with details of which hospital(s) within your trust area:
1. Have medical staff/surgical team trained to carry out bloodless surgery.
2. Have autologous blood transfusion and patient's own cell salvage equipment available.
3. Keep stocks of synthetic blood transfusion substitutes.
Yours faithfully,
Elizabeth Baker
