Publication – National Guidance for the Management of Red Blood Cell Inventory [SEC=OFFICIAL]


Dear Colleagues,
 
The National Blood Authority is pleased to advise you that National Guidance for the Management of Red Blood Cell Inventory is now available on the National Blood Authority’s website at Inventory management for blood and blood products | National Blood Authority.
 
The National Guidance for the Management of Red Blood Cell Inventory complements theNational Statement for the Emergency Use of Group O Red Blood Cells (National RBC Statement), supporting hospitals to implement the National RBC Statement. It provides advice for reviewing red blood cell (RBC) inventory holdings to reduce reliance on group O RhD negative RBC and maintain appropriate ABO and RhD blood group stock numbers that meet clinical need while maintaining an appropriate stock level to minimise time expiry.
 
Kind regards,
Lyndsay
