Engaging patients, their families, and carers as ‘safety partners’ helps co-create safer systems, identify, and rectify preventable adverse events. Investing in safety - well-resourced systems with safe staffing levels: Healthcare leaders must ensure that systems are designed to support safe transfusion practice and allocate adequate resources in clinical and laboratory areas to ensure safe staffing levels, staff training in technical and non-technical skills and appropriate equipment, including IT systems. Just and learning safety culture: All healthcare leaders must promote a just, learning safety culture with a collective, inclusive, and compassionate leadership.

All staff in clinical and laboratory areas have a responsibility to speak up in case of any concerns and help embed the safety culture in teams.enSerious Hazards of TransfusionBlood TransfusionTransfusion Reaction
