-- 'My Medical Choice' has launched a new National Hospitals Procedure Database to support its online medical advocacy platform. The service helps people find local hospitals and surgeons that offer bloodless surgery options, supporting greater autonomy in healthcare decisions.

Bloodless surgery is a medical approach using specific techniques and surgical methods to minimise blood loss during procedures. This method can reduce or avoid the need for donor blood transfusions, a key consideration for patients with medical, religious, or personal objections.
One technique in this field is cell salvage, or autotransfusion. This process involves collecting a patient's own blood during an operation, filtering it, and reinfusing it. Benefits can include reduced recovery times and a lower risk of infection compared to donor blood. Research suggests this method can be effective; some studies in cardiac surgery indicate that cell salvage may reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusions.
Patients seeking alternatives to blood transfusions can face challenges in finding providers who offer these specialised techniques. To address this information gap, 'My Medical Choice' developed its National Hospitals Procedure Database. The database is a catalogue compiled using information obtained through Freedom of Information requests submitted to facilities. It gives users details on which hospitals and clinics perform specific procedures that avoid donor blood.
This centralised resource supports patient autonomy in healthcare. Making this information accessible gives individuals the clarity to make informed decisions. Patients can then engage with medical professionals to choose treatment paths that align with their personal and medical preferences.
The database is a component of the company's system of integrated healthcare services. The organisation also offers members a Medical Legal Protection System and educational materials. These services are intended to support members in safeguarding their healthcare choices, particularly in emergencies.
'My Medical Choice' operates as an online system and a Private Members Association. It is dedicated to supporting its members in making informed decisions, managing their medical preferences and protecting their healthcare directives.
