I am enormously honoured to announce that I am going to be awarded the Gold Medal of the British Blood Transfusion Society at their Annual Scientific Meeting in Brighton this year. It is awarded to an individual for their exceptional and long standing services to the Society and to the practice of blood transfusion in the UK. Sorry if this sounds egocentric, but I am very excited.

I will be retiring on August 9 and wanted to tell everyone that the forum has been a great source of information (and amusement at times). I have spent time reading Malcolm's posts trying to imagine what he sounds like (just love a British accent). Thanks for keeping the forum a place where we can all learn from each other

I'm very glad you shared this wonderful news with us. We may have never met but you have helped countless people including me in my short time as a member of this forum. I am very excited for you and hope to one day be able to meet you in person. Congratulations! Please don't ever leave this forum, it wouldn't be the same without you. Nikki

We have had this done from time to time. Like David's facility, above, the surgery department has a procedure that leaves the blood bank out of it. Scott

Congratulations! You made it and will love retirement - once you get used to getting some uninterrupted sleep! It is so interesting to read what Malcolm says. My SBB program (in Texas) many years ago was headed by an Englishman and when he would say something we didn’t understand, we would just look at each other until someone realized what it was and would mouth it to the rest of us. The old days when we had a human instead of a computer in front of us.
