There are guidance documents available for HBBs on the MHRA website.
Please note that no questions have been changed this year.

Hospital blood banks should submit their completed BCR and Hospital Blood Bank Declaration Form to bcr@mhra.gov.uk with email subject heading ‘Full Hospital Name – BCR 2024’.
(Please ensure the email includes 1 BCR and the declaration form for that hospital name, with additional information related to the blood bank ONLY. Do not send multiple BCR and declaration forms within the same trust in one email)


Following the BCR assessment, Hospital Blood Banks will be provided with a BCR Assessment Confirmation Letter to confirm that assessment has been completed, without indicating the outcome (i.e. inspection or no inspection). The level of compliance determined will be used to inform the inspection programme for 2024/2025. The Hospital Blood Banks selected for inspection will be contacted by the inspectors to arrange a date. All inspections will be performed with a maximum of 7 days’ notice.

Note the BCR fee is £751
