Canada's TSOs

Canada's Transfusion Safety Officers
 

About Us

Following the Krever Enquiry. new positions have been created to improve the safety and quality of transfusion in Canada.  These men and women are called Transfusion Safety Officers (TSOs)

TSOs are responsible for the quality and safety of transfusion within their respective institutions,  particularly in the transfusion service and in the transfusing units, wards or clinics.  

To improve transfusion practice and safety, many transfusion professionals contribute to this website. Besides TSOs, contributors include professionals from diverse scientific, technical, nursing, and medical backgrounds who work in all sectors of blood transfusion in Canada. 

This website is complementary to the websites of the Canadian Society for Transfusion Medicine (CSTM) and the TraQ program of the BC PBCO and provides direct links to them.
