Patient Blood Management (PBM) is a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach to optimising the care of patients who might need a blood transfusion with the aim of improving their clinical outcomes.
The NHS Blood and Transplant PBM team are committed to driving safe and appropriate use of blood components through collaboration with clinical teams, education, and practical support. We produce guidance, resources, tools and specialist courses across a range of topics and areas of practice including alternatives to transfusion. These are designed to help organisations and professionals ensure best practice in transfusion.
