BlooDHIT 2022

BlooDHIT 2022

Our first international conference BlooDHIT took place in Dublin on 10th and 11th November 2022. The conference was for professionals in the areas of haematology, as well as transfusion specialists, medical scientists, research partners, research collaborators and any other professionals in the area of blood donation, infection and transfusion. We also had attendees from PPI (Patient and Public Involvement). Our speakers were a mix of local and international industry leaders covering a range of topics from transplantation, bone marrow research, Sickle Cell Anaemia, Iron Management and lots more! There was also a poster presentation session where researchers from Ireland and abroad showcased their latest work. Video's of presentations at BlooDHIT 2022 can be viewed below. 

We plan to host our next conference in 2024.
