Meeting point:  Please log in to see the meeting point

Speaker: John Wylde FCILT, Transport Author, Consultant

The idea of integrated or coordinated transport was used in legislation for most of the twentieth century, but never did it seem to be achievable because of the different interpretations of integration and often of political ideology and vested interests. This presentation will capture important events in the development of inland transport, concluding with a critical review of modern public transport provision in Britain.

Meeting the Transfusion Needs of Patients in Scotland in the face of Anthrax, Pandemic Flu and the Big Freeze

When:  7 October 2010, 17:30 (for 18:00) - 19:30
Where: 41 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9HB
Meeting point:  Please log in to see the meeting point

Speaker: Moira Carter, National Donor Services Manager & Paul Milne, National Logistics Manager, Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service

The supply blood components for transfusion are truly unique in that it is difficult to think of another supply chain where the starting material has a choice!  Blood is a commodity and, like all other commodities, has its own supply and demand patterns,  storage requirements and shelf life characteristics. Unlike most other commodities its availability at the right place, at the right time and in the right condition for the right patient can have an instant life or death impact. The product range manufactured from the donors' life saving gifts have variable shelf lives, from 2 days to 2 years.

This is a unique opportunity to hear two experts in the challenges of meeting the transfusion needs of patients in Scotland during the almost biblical last year; facind, anthrax, pandemic flu and the big freeze!  

The meeting will feature a presentation followed  by a short tour of the laboratory and donor centre and the organisers guarantee to release members unpunctured at the end of the visit (unless you really want)!

Transport Planning

Where: The Royal Scottish Geographical Society, Lord John Murray, House, 15-19 North Port, Perth, PH1 5LU
Meeting point:  Please log in to see the meeting point

Speaker: Mike Robinson, Chief Executive, Royal Scottish Geographical Society

Maybe it is time to remind ourselves of the joy of travelling. Perhaps we should embrace a motto “he who goes softly goes safely, he who goes safely goes far” from Italy, the country that inspired the slow food movement.

Lower speed limits would lower carbon dioxide emissions more quickly and effectively than any other single measure. With the concerns about peak oil, is part of the route towards sustainable travel to slow down and sometimes leave the car behind?

Douglas Norris is a Director of the Railway, and looks at its development as a major asset to the tourist economy.
