Among them, more than 275 Héma-Québec employees, including laboratory technicians and nurses, have taken the course as part of their regulatory training or to fulfill the continuing education hours required by their respective professional orders. To date, 55% of participants have been French-speaking, 23% English-speaking and 18% Spanish-speaking.
Surveys sent to hospitals and course evaluations completed by participants show a high level of satisfaction. The range of courses has been diversified, with new content on erythrocyte immunology now available online. In addition, free accredited training courses on topics such as stem cells and human tissues have been made available to hospitals and healthcare professionals.
This program is part of Héma-Québec’s strategic plan to meet the essential needs of immunodeficient people in Quebec. These people must receive medications derived from plasma processing once a month or more.
Héma-Québec offers cutting-edge training to blood bank technicians around the world, enabling them to improve their problem-solving techniques for erythrocyte immunology problems encountered in their laboratories.
The Héma-Québec Foundation is proud to help fund the Fetal RhD project, which will enable future Quebec mothers to find out the blood type of their fetus. Every year in Quebec, around 12,000 pregnant women have a RhD-negative blood group.
Quebec’s First Nations have much more than their own culture and history. Their genetic profiles, too, are unique on the planet! This uniqueness poses a particular challenge, especially given their marked under-representation in Quebec’s stem cell donor registry…
