About this course

The course starts by explaining why ensuring and maintaining the quality and safety of blood products is so important. After that, it looks at the necessity for multi-disciplinary collaboration when it comes to the transfusion of blood and how this looks in practice. Next, it covers the Blood Safety and Quality Regulations 2005 and the legal requirements these regulations pose, before turning to explore safe transfusion practice, including how each blood product must be stored.

Following this, the course dives into the anatomy and physiology of blood products, before working through each stage of the blood transfusion cycle, and the standard safety checks required for the handling of blood products.

The course then turns to the most common and serious adverse clinical incidents related to blood transfusion and finishes by detailing the equipment required to administer a transfusion.

Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.

Questions

Before you enrol

How do I book this course?

Buy it online and the learner gets their login straight away. If you are booking for more than one person, or for several different courses, send us the list and we will quote for the group rather than charging person by person.

How long do learners have to complete it?

It is self paced, so learners can stop and pick up where they left off. The time shown is video content and does not count thinking time on the questions.

Do learners get a certificate?

Yes. A certificate is issued once the learner passes, and you can download records for everyone you have enrolled.

Is the price per person?

Yes, per learner and excluding VAT. Group rates are better than the published price, so ask before booking a team.

Is eLearning enough on its own?

For awareness it often is. Where a duty needs a competent person, a risk assessment or a documented system, training alone will not close it. If you are not sure which side of that line you are on, ask us before buying.
