The NHSBT blood identification app is designed to show learners the processes of correct blood group identification, as well as the consequences of administering a transfusion following incorrect blood group identification, emphasizing the relationship between blood group identification processes and patient wellbeing.
NHSBT, the National Health Service Blood and Transplant in the UK, are a key authority in the country’s healthcare system, responsible for blood donation and organ transplantation services. NHSBT needed a consistently repeatable learning experience that enabled learners to practise procedures without having to use lab resources, in a risk free environment and in their own time.
This learning experience is intended to be used as a training tool primarily for recently qualified doctors, scientists or college students interested in science.
