Blood Component Indication App summarises relevant national guidelines to act as a prompt for clinicians to facilitate appropriate use of blood and enable robust documentation of indications.

The App is based on the National Blood Transfusion Committee (NBTC) Indication Codes for Transfusion (2016) and the British Society of Haematology (BSH) Guideline on transfusion for foetuses neonates and older children (2016). The App should be used in conjunction with the full guidelines.

Review date for the NBTC Indication codes is June 2019.
