The United Kingdom and Ireland Blood Transfusion Network (UK&IBTN) has developed resources to support patient consent for blood transfusion for both patients and healthcare practitioners, as recommended in guidance published by the advisory committee for the safety of blood, tissues and organs (SaBTO) in 2020.

Two working groups were set-up to deliver this and in January 2023 the final output was signed off by the UK&IBTN and published on the Joint UK Transfusion and Tissue Transplantation Services Professional Advisory Committee (JPAC) ‘transfusion guidelines’ website.
