title: The M1 Kegworth aircraft disaster: experience in three hospital blood transfusion laboratories and the regional transfusion centre.
abstract: Eighty-eight survivors of an aircraft accident on the M1 motorway were taken to three major hospitals, two of which were teaching hospitals, in the immediate vicinity. We describe the effects of this on the three blood transfusion and haematology laboratories concerned and on the regional transfusion centre, describe how the work was processed, and list the lessons learnt.
