Research and Development
Our world-leading research programme
The success of NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT)'s strategy to achieve long-term improvements in patient outcomes requires an innovative research programme.
The effective application of novel technologies, processes and products drives the advancement of clinical practice, but this can only be accomplished by having an integrated Research and Development (R&D) programme which supports organisational priorities.
This requirement to undertake or commission R&D is an integral part of NHSBT’s mission, and is key to improving outcomes.
Our R&D programme is unique
Within the public, private and academic sectors there are no other organisations capable of delivering an R&D programme that spans our range of products and services.
This is due to the combination of our partnerships with top-class universities, our clearly defined operational objectives and our expertise in translating research into new products, services and clinical guidelines.
Our R&D programme underpins NHSBT's business strategies and guides international transfusion and transplantation practice.
