Well done SWiFT trial! 👏👏

Excellent work by all involved! Well done SWiFT trial! 🥳

Great news – we’ve finished recruitment to the SWIFT trial three months ahead of schedule, thanks to the support of our partners. We’re trialing whole blood transfusions with Defence Medical Services Air Ambulances UK and hospitals around the country.
