Hospital X has a Blood transfusion lab, and submits annual BCR- but doesn't stock sufficient red cells/ FFP to cover large bleeds, so they are not a facility. Also, we are not intending to receive the units back if unused, and these will go into their stock and could be given to another patient or discarded. I want to record this as transferred to hospital X on our LIMS, and it is for them to provide details of forward traceability. This is a formal arrangement, unlike emergency transfer of labelled blood for a named patient to another hospital.

I suppose on the next BCR they could record this as a Change, but was unsure if they had to record in section S of their BCR.

Many thanks for your reply.
