RR1 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Another useful forum to begin discussions on the various UK Guidelines we have for Blood bank practices. This would be a very good area for more junior staff in our depts to begin to familiarise themselves with these documents. Each time I go back to have another look at various BCSH guidelines etc, I am amazed at how much information these contain . I am very grateful to the folk who have spent many hours researching and writing these docs, and consider these the key to helping us standardise and improve our practices.

RR1 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hi Pluto, the information I have received is that the first draft is nearly complete, but the process will take several more months so unable to set a final date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenM Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Any more info on this? It's a year since this started and there is nothing in progress on the BCSH guidelines website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR1 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi All,I have asked again and it appears that the draft will be submitted for review by the BCSH taskforce in June, but there is no definite date yet when the completed guideline will be published.

Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I gather that there will be some pragmatic bits to the new Guidelines - like it is not worthwhile sending samples to a Reference Laboratory to find out whether or not a 98-year-old male is Weak D or Partial D.THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!

RR1 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Oh...it's going to be a very long document then??? I hope it also states that it is not worthwhile sending samples to a Reference Laboratory to find out whether or not a 98-year-old female is Weak D or Partial D too, but what about the 86 yr old M/F ? I suppose you could use an age range from 60- 115yrs, but I forgot- the guidelines include females of child-bearing potential are up to 60yrs- or has this now been increased to 98yrs (i'm sure i've read about someone in their 70's giving birth -not sure if male or female though) , so we would still need to send these then???
