Call of Abstracts

One of the main objectives of this workshop is to share ideas and experiences that will help us face the challenges and seek the opportunities that will make the small and medium size registries better, more effective, financially and operationally more sustainable.

Throughout the meeting you will have the opportunity to share your own experience and learn from the experiences of the other registries. So please, send us your abstract on any of the following or other related subjects. Selected abstracts will be printed in the proceedings of the workshop and you will have the opportunity to share your work through a short presentation.

Abstract Topics

• Sharing Work Diversity Experiences - Many Small Registries are involved with more than just unrelated bone marrow donor searches. Your experiences may help other registries to expand their activities, which in turn, will make them more sustainable.
• Sharing Recruitment Experiences - Each one of us operates in a different environment but we all try to recruit the best donors for our patients. Your recruitment strategy may help others improve their donor pool.
• Sharing Marketing and Fundraising Experiences - Raising awareness and raising funds are both equally important factors for the sustainability of our operations.
• Sharing Donor Search Experiences - Smaller registries have to be resourceful in order to be effective in their quest to find donors for their patients. You can share the tools and strategies you use and present interesting cases.
• Donor Typing Strategy? The cost and the methodology for HLA typing of the new donors is one of the greatest concerns of a small registry. The level of typing and the method used can determine the quality of the registry and its financial survival.
