The Ontario Regional Blood Coordinating Network (ORBCoN) and Canadian Blood Services (CBS) co-hosted their annual Transfusion Medicine Educational Serology Workshop and Web Conference Symposium on April 10th and 11th this year. The primary objective of these annual educational events is to provide best practice information on blood transfusion to healthcare staff in community and rural hospitals across Ontario. Over the years, these events have become highly anticipated, drawing attendees across the province, nationally and internationally. Participants value the opportunity to access up-to-date information and learning they provide.
About the Workshop
The workshop titled Mysteries in a Test Tube, provided hands on practice and education to laboratory staff that work in hospital transfusion services. Participants chose from three tiers, each tailored to varying levels of complexity, ensuring a valuable learning experience for all levels of expertise. Each registered site received samples along with a case study containing tier-specific questions. Sites were given dedicated time to complete the work and submit their answers. These answers were then discussed collectively during the review session for each tier. A total of 38 attendees joined Dr. Johnathan Mack as he led engaging discussion sessions on April 10th, further enriching the workshop experience. The response was overwhelming, with all fifty workshop spots quickly filled, underscoring the demand for such interactive learning opportunities. For those that were unable to attend, the sessions are available for review on our website, extending the educational reach beyond physical attendance. 2024 CBS/ORBCoN Wet Workshop – Transfusion Ontario
