Sheffield Haemophilia Centre participated in a formal trial of an Armour heat-treated concentrate beginning in April 1984. Two patients became ill with hepatitis. Dr Preston's recollection was that they withdrew from that study and moved to a study with colleagues in other centres, using an Alpha product.

The Sheffield haemophilia centre was a reference centre, but not one of the larger centres. At Sheffield, there was a particular focus on hepatitis and liver disease, with significant research being undertaken there.
Published on:

At the Sheffield haemophilia centre, the amount of Factor 8 and Factor 9 given to patients was very much less than other reference centres, although Dr Preston did not think this reflected a deliberate decision to take a conservative approach.

Dr Preston told the Observer "in 1978 we showed quite definitely that non-A, non-B was a very serious disorder. The Department of Health should have responded by pushing for ways to inactivate the virus in the blood, or given patients the choice of an alternative."

Dr Preston confirmed his views to the Inquiry that "The Department of Health should have responded by pushing for ways to inactivate the virus in the blood, or given patients the choice of an alternative."

Dr Preston stated in his evidence to the Inquiry that whilst the hepatitis risk from commercial products was substantially greater than from NHS products, "there were insufficient NHS products for the treatment of Royal Hallamshire Hospital patients".
Published on:

Dr Preston confirmed that part of his approach to patients was to "keep individual patients on the same concentrate, and the same 'batch' for as long as possible to minimise exposure to different blood donations"
Published on:

Dr Preston does not recall telling patients that the treatment they were receiving might expose them to the risk of chronic liver disease.
Published on:

Dr preston's view was that the amount of Factor 8 (and Factor 9) given to patients was very much less than the majority of other reference centres.
Published on:
27 September, 2024
Dr Preston's approach to purchasing a number of different commercial concentrates was "not putting all the eggs in one basket in case something happened with the supply chain..." and "keep individual patients on the same concentrate, and the same 'batch' for as long as possible to minimise exposure to different blood donations."
