Haemovigilance Working Group
The Haemovigilance Project Working Group is a specialist clinical group which includes key stakeholders such as ARCBS, the Australian and New Zealand Society of Blood Transfusion (ANZSBT), the JBC, representatives from medical colleges, and public and private health care providers from transfusion medicine, nursing and pathology. The group is developing a national haemovigilance program for consideration and approval by JBC. This group provides stewardship and guidance for the haemovigilance project and ensures the project goals align with stakeholder needs.
