To report the UK experience of rolling out Transfusion Camp.
Transfusion Camp is a structured education programme developed in Toronto, with the aim of reducing knowledge gaps in transfusion medicine in postgraduate trainees. It consists of didactic lectures viewed online by the participants, then interactive, locally delivered seminars. Since 2015, it has been rolled out in the United Kingdom, and is now available in four centres. Here, we report the UK experience of Transfusion Camp and outcomes.
Trainees are recruited via the training programme directors in each region. Pre- and post-course assessments are administered using the validated BEST (Biomedical Excellence for Safer Transfusion) test, with possible scores 0-20, and confidence measured on an A-E Likert scale.
Since 2015, 130 trainees have participated in Transfusion Camp in the United Kingdom. Trainees from all specialties significantly improved their BEST-test scores after attending the course (mean score 11.6/20 before the course, compared with 14.3/20 after the course), and confidence in managing transfusion-related issues was also significantly improved.
We recommend that all centres consider offering Transfusion Camp to trainees in haematology and other specialties that frequently use blood transfusions, such as anaesthesia/ICU, Internal Medicine and others.
报告英国推行输血营的经验。
输血营是在多伦多开发的一个结构化教育项目，旨在减少研究生受训者在输血医学方面的知识差距。它由参与者在线观看的讲座组成，然后是互动的、本地提供的研讨会。自 2015 年以来，它已在英国推出，并在四个中心提供。在这里，我们报告英国输血营的经验和结果。
培训生通过每个地区的培训计划主任招募。使用经过验证的 BEST（更安全输血的生物医学卓越）测试进行课前和课后评估，可能的分数为 0-20，信心用 A-E 李克特量表衡量。
自 2015 年以来，英国已有 130 名学员参加了输血营。所有专业的学员在参加课程后，BEST 测试成绩均显著提高（课程前平均得分为 11.6/20，课程后为 14.3/20），处理输血相关问题的信心也显著提高。
我们建议所有中心考虑为血液学和其他经常使用输血的专业的学员（如麻醉/重症监护、内科和其他专业）提供输血营。
