The states will have to identify the institutions wheretraining of the staff responsible for running the bloodstorage centre is to be held. These could be the bloodbanks at Medical Colleges, Regional Blood Banks,Indian Red Cross Blood Banks, or any other well setuplicensed Blood Bank, provided they have the necessaryinfrastructure for undertaking training.The training will be for three-days duration duringwhich the Medical Officer and the technician fromthe identified FRUs will be posted at the traininginstitution.A “Standard Operating Procedures Manual” (SOPM)has been developed and is part of these guidelines.This SOPM will be used as the training material.A copy of this SOPM will be made available to theMedical Officer for use in his Blood Storage Center forundertaking storage, grouping, cross matching andtransfusion.In addition to the training of the above Medical Staff,it is considered necessary that the clinicians whowill be responsible for prescribing the use of bloodare also sensitized on the various parameters ofblood transfusion. For this the “Clinician’s Guide toAppropriate Use of Blood” has been developed.
