Reviewing UKTLC Standards

Sounds Good. We need some tie in with the original re qualifications/experience and what is expected from e.g. MHRA of a person in day to day charge of running a hospital blood bank. I think there was a document linked with SABRE registration or am I getting old?? And then agreement on the structure below. Question; would transfusion practitioners (SPOTS) be expected to be part of the laboratory? Ours are soon to move to a different division but do the same, as you describe, important job linking between us and the wards. I look on the BBM role as being like a PUB with your name over the door as the registered (licensed) person.
happy Easter All

Thanks for your comments Simon, and I hope you had a good Easter break too- it’s nice to see the daffodils out at last.


The guidance and intent of the original document will remain unchanged but we want to include every regulation, guideline, standard, HSC BBT 1,2,3 that exists, ( the SABRE stuff I believe is part of one of the other directives that shaped the BSQR?). The TPs regardless of where they sit in an organisation are part of laboratory activities particularly for haemovigilance, and work with the BBM- so they should be part of this team, at least in the definition.

I like your pub analogy, though the CEO is the publican who needs to keep the bar in order – I’m just a pint puller!

I would contend that we are a little higher than just pint pullers! More the Publican/Tenants with the CEO's being more like the Brewery Managers?
Thoughts on TP's appreciated.
