As part of the Transfusion Practitioner Team, you will be instrumental in developing and delivering transfusion training to staff involved in the process of transfusion, support the implementation of blood transfusion policies across UHD, provide transfusion related advice to support and facilitate high quality patient care, undertake high quality audit and ultimately promote and champion best practice across the organisation.
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
