Description
We are recruiting for an Associate Transfusion Practitioner who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.
Blood Transfusion is highly regulated to ensure patient safety and that all blood products are used according to national regulations. The transfusion practitioner team act as an interface between the laboratory and clinical staff at all levels to ensure processes are followed and that the clinical areas are aware of the requirements to ensure safe transfusions.
The post holder will work alongside the transfusion practitioners as part of the Hospital Transfusion Team to support the Trust in keeping patients safe and ensure that regulations and guidelines are followed.
The work is varied and hence a flexible approach and a willingness to learn would be ideal attributes in a candidate.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.
The Associate Transfusion Practitioner (ATP) will assist the Transfusion Practitioners (TPs) in facilitating safe practice in blood transfusion, preventing blood wastage and auditing blood transfusion processes within the Trust.
The transfusion department must have full traceability of all blood products that come in to the department and the ATP will have responsibility for supporting the laboratory with this task.
The post holder will assist in the delivery of transfusion training and competency assessments and the development of guidelines and policies.
Transfusion incidents need full investigation and documentation including Root Cause Analysis and Corrective and Preventive Actions and the post holder will be trained to support the TPs in these processes and the ongoing reporting externally.
At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
