Join EDQM for a two-day, in-person event in Strasbourg, France, to discover and discuss new developments in blood donation and blood component preparation in Europe and address the important question “How can they be implemented into practice?”
Blood establishments must adapt to continuous progress, such as the impending EU legislative changes, and this conference provides a forum to share expert knowledge and practical guidance in this rapidly developing field. It will address novel technical developments, current challenges, technical aspects, change control management, evidence- and risk-based approaches, together with regulatory questions, all of which will be of interest to professionals working in the blood sector.
The focus of the conference can be divided into two main areas of interest:
