Hi, I'm Kate in Boston - and I guess I do it all. We still do not have a QI person, so I manage the people, the transfusion service, the donor area, and therapeutic pheresis.

Nice to see that you've put this together, Dawn/Cliff. I would classify myself as a bb geek, too.

Welcome Kate.

I am hoping that we will be able to use this forum to share blood bank ideas with people outside of just the Boston area. I've looked for a while for a forum like this and since I couldn't find one I liked, I decided to start one of my own.

We hope this to be a successful exchange of ideas.

Hi Kate from Boston, Sounds like you have your habds full!

I'm Teri I recruit and manage rare antibody plasma donors.

Look forward to your posts.

Sorry, I really can spell .....hands....thats what I get for typing in the dark
