Q7 - do I include my transfusion practitioners in with the MLA/Others? They don't strictly work in the lab but they are part of the transfusion team. I have never included them before in previous BCRs.

Hi Chris,Originally Posted by Chris E
The question asks how many staff do you have in the Lab- so unless your TPs assist with lab functions, I suppose response would be same as previous year ( that's what I submitted anyway- and have never counted the TP role as there is minimal impact on lab in their absence). This would be consistent with the UKTLC questions on lab staffing too.
Be interesting to know how others answer this too.

Think I am going to stay consistent on this one and not include the TPs and their administrator in the figures this year.
Next year maybe a clarifying note in the instructions could be included?
As you mentioned the TP administrator- we call this our Hospital Team Assistant- and for this post I count within 'other'- as our HTTA assists with full traceability including follow-up of missing data , merging duplicate records and some other lab tasks for part of their role (50%).
