It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Gothenburg and the Your Own Blood Symposium. As you know, blood management is becoming increasingly important with the shortage of bank blood, cost awareness and new innovations.

This year’s symposium will discuss how autologous blood can be a natural part of your blood management strategy in elective surgery. Therefore, we have gathered renowned speakers for an exciting programme in Gothenburg.

Once again, a warm welcome to the Your Own Blood Symposium!

Prof. Magnus Jacobsson, Medical Director, Astra Tech AB
