Blood transfusion is a vital medical procedure. For many patients, however, transfusion can feel daunting, confusing or even frightening. Questions about safety, necessity and risks often arise; patients may struggle to find reliable, accessible information that speaks directly to their needs. Recognising this gap, the Serious Hazards of Transfusion (SHOT) team – working with key transfusion experts and, more importantly, patients themselves – has co-developed a digital solution: the My Transfusion app.
