National Transfusion Practitioners Network
Healthcare professionals and other NBTC stakeholders may wish to note an update from Jehovah’s Witnesses regarding individual decisions on the acceptance and donation of major blood components.
During the development of the Transfusion Practitioner (TP) Framework, it became clear that we needed a stronger way to communicate both the impact of the TP role and what it involves.
We have been made aware of a technical issue affecting the blood transfusion shared care communication form. The shared‑care blood transfusion communication form was developed and is owned by the National Blood Transfusion Committee (NBTC) Shared Care Working Group with input from SHOT.
