On Wednesday, September 30, 2009 the PBCO and Canadian Blood Services proudly hosted this year's 9th Annual Education Session on Blood Transfusion Issues at Harrison Hot Springs Resort, BC.
This event is held in conjunction with BCSLS Congress and provides an opportunity to learn more about new technologies and best practices in the Transfusion Medicine field and to meet professionals from across the province.
