Welcome to Blood Group Serology Reading!


BGS Reading 2009 has now finished. Thanks to everyone who supported us and made it such a success.

Photos and presentations from the event will be available to download shortly.


A LectureBlood Group Serology Reading steering committee is aiming to provide an extended scientific conference, affordable to the NHS, located in the south of England, primarily aimed at hospital based Transfusion Scientists and related staff.

Reading with its excellent university facilities and transport links is an ideal venue for this conference. The university campus based accommodation will facilitate a more affordable and friendly conference, taking account of NHS financial restraints. This will allow a greater number of delegates to attend and improve their working knowledge of transfusion science.

The stimulating scientific programme will be enhanced by a broad-spectrum commercial exhibition and balanced by a full and exciting social programme.

Conference Charity

Helen and Douglas House

The charity chosen by the BGS committee is Helen & Douglas House (reg. charity no 1085951). This is a local charity providing hospice and end of life care for children at Helen House and for young adults at Douglas House, as well as support for their families. Please help us in supporting this very worthy cause.
