As per the Transfusion Policy, a reminder to colleagues that blood components must not be run through the same cannula as other IV drugs or fluids.

All colleagues who care for transfused patients should be assessed as competent within three months of starting their employment at CHFT.

If you have any questions about this or the Policy, please email Transfusion Practitioner, Lisa McCallion at Lisa.McCallion2@cht.nhs.uk
