Transfusion checklist

Transfusion of blood components is a multi-step process. A uniform approach, outlined in a checklist, ensures that staff are aware of their responsibilities and the processes required for each step.  

Tools such as checklists, when used correctly, support staff in making informed decisions regarding appropriate prescribing and safe transfusion practice.
