2023 SHOT Recommendations Gap Analysis Tool

The Gap Analysis Tool is now available for all SHOT reporting organisations to help identify gaps in local clinical and laboratory practices and systems to help implement the recommendations from the 2023 Annual SHOT Report and enhance transfusion safety.

The template has been pre-formatted with the SHOT recommendations. The Gap Analysis Tool includes an Action Plan, allowing organisations to record, in narrative form, comparison of current services against SHOT recommendations, and to plan and monitor continuous improvement in patient safety. Please email shot@nhsbt.nhs.uk with any queries relating to this.

This tool is for internal use within hospital transfusion teams, and does not need to be submitted to SHOT when completed.
