As we mark the anniversary of the release of the Infected Blood Inquiry Report, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to improving safety and restoring trust, with a specific focus on strengthening transfusion safety.
Everyone at SHOT is deeply mindful of the experiences that led to this inquiry and are determined to ensure that patient safety remains the guiding principle for all haemovigilance activities.
By learning from the past with humility and acting with transparency and urgency, we honour those affected and commit to facilitating meaningful change.
We are strengthening our approach to haemovigilance- ensuring that every reported incident, however small, is an opportunity to learn, improve and prevent harm.
Through active engagement with patients, staff, and all key stakeholders, we will continue to work to ensure the inquiry’s recommendations are not only heard, but implemented – building a safer, more compassionate healthcare system for all.
