Amazing to be alongside Michael Makris. He’s a most generous friend since being fellow Haematology Registrars at Sheffield #BSH2024 BSH - Haematology

Delighted to make the front cover of the ⁦The BMJ⁩ today. Thank you ⁦Prof Cheng-Hock Toh CBE⁩ for your support in developing this manuscript and for your support in initiating and growing ⁦HaemSTAR 💙⁩

Writing in The BMJ, former RCP academic vice president Prof Cheng-Hock Toh CBE (Prof Cheng-Hock Toh CBE) and colleagues describe the ‘rewarding and worthwhile career’ that clinical research can offer to doctors: bmj.com/content/385/bm…

1. Research improves patient outcome 2. Research improves doctors satisfaction Check out pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37775179/ @RichardHaynes3 Martin Landray

Profound harm has been done to the individuals and families affected by infected blood. For many, the inquiry’s report has sadly come too late, but its recommendations can still stop a growing complacency over transfusion practices Prof Cheng-Hock Toh CBE Elisabeth Buggins bmj.com/content/385/bm…

The final report of the UK Infected Blood Inquiry exposes the catastrophic failings that devastated lives through transfusion transmitted HIV and hepatitis viruses. Even now, transfusion practices could and should be safer, say Prof Cheng-Hock Toh CBE Elisabeth Buggins bmj.com/content/385/bm…

The NHS has made an urgent appeal for O blood type donors in response to the cyberattack that forced some of the largest hospitals in London to cancel operations and divert patients to other trusts bmj.com/content/385/bm…

Tranexamic acid safely reduces surgical bleeding and the need for blood transfusion. Greater use of tranexamic acid in surgery is important, especially in low and middle income settings where blood stocks are lower and risks higher, says Analysis bmj.com/content/385/bm…

Fibrinogen buffers the cytotoxicity of circulating histones in vivo and ratios of histones to fibrinogen help identify critically ill patients at highest risk of mortality, who might benefit from anti-histone therapy. Prof Cheng-Hock Toh CBE Simon Abrams Jun Yong jthjournal.org/article/S1538-…

Major gaps in current understanding of coagulation and the pressing need for improved diagnostics and therapeutics lead Prof Cheng-Hock Toh CBE and Jun Yong to propose a new convergent model of coagulation that integrates inflammation and innate immune activation. jthjournal.org/action/showPdf…

We recommend that tranexamic acid (TXA) is considered in all adult surgical patients & administered if more than 500ml of blood loss is likely. This should be added to surgical checklists. 🧵 The benefits are presented in this open access BMJ article: ow.ly/8qro50Szqnl

Use of TXA is NICE quality standard but 1/3 of patients who should receive TXA are not treated. Full compliance would: ✔️ Prevent 15,000 major surgical bleeds ✔️ Avoid the transfusion of 33,000 units of blood ✔️ Save 45,000 hospital days & millions of £ for the NHS

Use of TXA is also recommended by: ✔️ The #InfectedBloodInquiry ✔️ Centre for Perioperative Care 'Anaemia in the Perioperative Pathway' Guideline ✔️ Our Perioperative Quality Improvement Programme PQIP
