Foreword Authors: Paula Bolton-Maggs and Hannah Cohen The 15th Annual SHOT Report is compiled from data received between January and December 2011 by the SHOT UK national haemoviligance scheme. We are approaching universal participation with 98.4% of National Health Service (NHS) Hospitals, Trusts and Health Boards across the UK now being registered to report to SHOT. Registrations for independent organisations have also increased. The number of reports has increased to a total of 3038 in 2011 (this total includes ‘near miss’ and ‘right blood right patient’ events which by definition caused no harm) which represents an increase in analysed reports of 23.3% (3038 vs 2464) compared to the 2010 Annual Report. This year we have also received a small number of reports which refer to more than one patient, which brings the total cases analysed to 3054 overall. These multiple reports are detailed further in the Anti-D and Handling and Storage Errors (HSE) chapters. We are pleased that for the second year that there have been no cases of transfusion-transmitted infections (TTI) and also that the reduction in transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) since 2003/2004 has been maintained. However, the reduction in incorrect blood components transfused resulting from clinical and laboratory errors has not been maintained and causes for this are discussed. The increased participation is pleasing, both in terms of numbers of organisations and numbers of reports. Benchmarking data are now presented in the report, and have been sent out to participating establishments so that they can compare their rates
