Jason Smith SWiFT trial Defence Medical Services NHS Blood+Transplant Royal Centre for Defence Medicine 🦉🐍 Air Ambulances UK NHSBT R&D Clinical Trials Unit This is an extraordinary acheivement. 10 years ago, if somebody said 'let do a randomised trial of blood in PHEM helicopters on seriously injured people' I think we would have all anticipated slow recruitment. 👏👏

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.
