Professor Robyn Clay-Williams and RNSH Blood Management Clinical Nurse Consultant Phillippa Weaver and Bruno Villamea Santos, Virtual Care Change Officer NSLHD. The group took part in research related to ‘Digitising Blood Management Processes in Brazil’ as well as researching other health processes. The group visited different departments of RNSH including the haematology department, cardiothoracic intensive care
unit, NSW Health Pathology transfusion laboratory and the immunology department. Phillippa said the experience with the researchers benefited everyone involved. “The researchers gained knowledge from RNSH clinicians and scientists, and we gained knowledge from them,” she said. “Several clinicians from RNSH will stay in touch with them, especially in relation to safety and quality and system processes.”
RNSH, NSW Heath Pathology Transfusion Services and the Centre for Healthcare Resilience and Implementation Science at the Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University, gave the researchers the opportunity to explore the hospital and engage with clinicians. The researchers, Professor Flavio S. Fogliatto, Professor Tarcisio Saurin, Leonardo Furstenau, Guilherme Tortorella and Natália Ransolin, were accompanied by Macquarie University’s Associate
