NHSBT currently ‘hosts’ the SRI and provides resources such as office space, and services such as IT, human resources and finance support.
We are based in NHSBT’s Oxford centre and have developed close links with both the hospital trust and the University of Oxford. The SRI consists of a core team and three principal investigators.
We are supported by an independent steering committee consisting of representatives from relevant professional bodies and clinical experts from the UK, Europe, Australia and North America.
Over the years we have welcomed many clinical fellows to the team who have completed transfusion medicine systematic reviews as part of their further studies. Many have continued with their research as they have moved to senior clinical roles in home and international health services.
