Cell salvage equipment, etc.
Dear Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust,
Could you provide the information to show a list of which hospitals within your trust have the relevant equipment to treat patients who refuse blood and blood components (such as Jehovah’s Witnesses) in an emergency situation?
To give you an example, should a Jehovah’s Witness be involved in an accident and they were bleeding out, which hospital(s) in your trust would have the facilities available to treat them in accordance with their beliefs regarding no blood transfusions? This would be hospitals with a cell salvage machine at the very least on site, for example.
Yours faithfully,
Daisy Greene
