You will embrace a blended programme studying at both UWE and NHSBT in Bristol, where you will gain hands-on experience at the largest blood centre in Europe. You will learn from practising transfusion and transplantation specialists, as well as world-leading researchers.<br/><br/>This is an attractive course that would be applicable to a wide range of graduates across health care and life sciences, inclusive of those seeking to consolidate their career in transfusion or transplantation.
