NVB-TRIP symposium

The Nederlandse Vereniging voor Bloedtransfusie (NVB), or Dutch Society for Blood Transfusion, is a professional association for people involved in blood transfusion through their work or voluntary activities. Its community includes laboratory analysts, nurses, internists, hematologists, anesthesiologists, surgeons and clinical chemists. The NVB supports knowledge-sharing and professional development in transfusion medicine, with resources and activities for members and other interested professionals.

The association’s work includes the Consortium for Transfusion Medicine Research, regional transfusion medicine knowledge platforms, and a hemovigilance platform. Through its website, the NVB shares news, event information, meeting reports, educational materials and professional guidance. Resources include transfusion policy guidelines, reference materials, and information on subjects such as stem cell transplantation, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and transfusion in children. The NVB also promotes education through training opportunities, symposiums and other events, and recognizes achievement through awards and poster prizes. Its activities connect professionals with developments and events from organizations including TRIP and the International Society for Blood Transfusion, helping the transfusion medicine community stay informed and engaged.
