SHOT is the national haemovigilance scheme for the United Kingdom. It audits both clinical and laboratory errors in transfusion practice to improve the delivery of high quality safe transfusion services. Children have many very specialised and specific transfusion requirements. This leads to a difference in the frequency and nature of hazards which are reported relating to children.
