Electronic issue of blood components
We have prepared a draft guidance note on the electronic issue of blood components following concerns identified during inspections of hospital blood banks. Stakeholders are encouraged to review this document, and provide comments electronically to bcr@mhra.gsi.gov.uk before close of business on 9 October 2009.

Guidance on the requirement for blood facilities to submit compliance reports in 2010.
We have prepared guidance to clarify situations where blood ‘facilities’, that do not perform pre-transfusion testing (e.g. small satellite hospitals, private clinics, hospices etc.), may be required to submit an annual compliance report. There is no requirement for affected ‘facilities’ to retrospectively submit a compliance report for the reporting year 2008-09.
