Case Study - Welsh Blood Service

Background

The Welsh Blood Service (WBS) is a division of Velindre NHS Trust. They collect voluntary, non-remunerated blood donations from South, West and part of Mid Wales, which are then processed and tested before distribution to hospitals.

The Challenge

The client has a requirement to retain access to documents or document images over many years.  Media is currently in CD format and original hard copy.  Any media must be secure, enduring and capable of being readily retrieved.

The Solution

Transmedia digitised all relevant documents, including indexing and creation of hyperlinks for use with image viewing and retrieval software. We also provided archival storage and retrieval of original documents, together with confidential, certified destruction where required.  This solution meets all of the WBS archiving requirements consistent with current ISO Standards.
