Who is the course for?<\/b><\/h2>\n

This\u00a0online Blood Component Transfusion training course is primarily aimed at those healthcare staff who are not directly involved in blood sampling, the decision to transfuse, or administering blood transfusions. However, senior clinical staff, including specialist nurses and doctors, will also find this course beneficial.<\/p>\n

Healthcare staff who are specifically involved in the clinical decisions related to the blood transfusion process will receive more specialised training, and this may include completing the individual NHS Trust or private hospital\u2019s internal classroom training or e-learning. Speak to your line manager or learning and development lead if you think this applies to you.<\/p>\n
