We’re successful at what we do but we want to do better. To make sure the best graft is selected for each patient, we are planning to introduce our new service – the Graft Identification Advisory Service (GIAS).
The aim is to give UK transplant centres help and advice on donor and cord blood unit selection. This is useful when requesting confirmatory typing and final work-ups. Initially GIAS will be available to transplant centres that use our laboratories for their patients’ tissue typing. Depending on its success, we’ll explore offering this service to our other UK customers.
