A Call to Action: 5 Steps to Transform Transfusion Practice
The evidence is clear: transfusion practice in the NHS needs a fundamental overhaul.
Here are 5 key areas for action:
1. Workforce Development – Recruit, train and retain transfusion specialists.
2. Training and Competency – Reaching into all areas of the workforce.
3. Digital Systems – Implement end-to-end electronic transfusion systems with AI support.
4. Service Coordination – Regional collaboration to support smaller hospitals.
5. Governance and Oversight – Stronger national oversight and accountability.
A Transfusion Transformation strategic plan is already in development.
Let’s ensure it gets the investment and leadership commitment it deserves.
Our patients deserve safe, efficient, and modern transfusion care. It’s time to act.”
