Introducing one of the Harold Gunson Fellows at Blood 2025 and ISBT Perth 2025: Rounak Dubey, Assistant Professor at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Nagpur. Rounak is excited to share his research into artificial intelligence and modern context protocol and how its integration can help in real time decision making related to clinical transfusion. We look forward to learning more about Rounak’s research at Blood 2025 and ISBT Perth 2025! #ISBTPERTH2025 #HaroldGunsonFellow #TransfusionMedicine #LifeLongLearning 

New article in #VoxSanguinis: Nursing staff satisfaction on the use of several transfusion safety systems at a university hospital 💡 Nursing satisfaction with transfusion safety systems is influenced by usability, problem resolution time, and training, rather than solely by system complexity. 💡 System simplicity does not guarantee a higher perception of safety, highlighting the need to approach staff satisfaction from a multifactorial perspective. 💡 There is a need for a robust, user-friendly, and adaptable safety system, developed in alignment with clinical staff requirements. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e5Mmiuuh  #TransfusionMedicine #ISBT #VoxSanguinis Carlos Otín Aparicio, Noemi Alegre Santos, Cèlia Cuellas Roca, Núria Huguet Otero, Núria Llurba Cunillera, Marta Rubi Cabrera
