Orange Guide 2022

Hi
I've just discovered the "new" Orange guide has been published. Do the hospital blood banks need to do some sort of gap analysis on this? I wondered if this was still applicable given the transition to the Good Practice Guide publication in 2018.

Thanks

Thank you for the question. Our expectation for hospital blood banks is that a gap analysis is carried out against the Good Practice Guide. The Orange Guide may provide useful additional guidance and enhance your understanding of the GPG.
