This audit in chronically anaemic adult patients assesses whether red cell concentrate is transfused according to guidelines, and evaluates the impact of training interventions, compared with a similar audit conducted in 2010. Retrospectively, 25 transfusion episodes were audited for appropriateness, the investigation of anaemia, threshold achievement, wastage, and informed consent. After training interventions, a further 25 episodes were prospectively analysed. The effects of current training interventions were not shown to have a statistically significant impact. Compared to a 2010 audit, however, a statistically significant improvement was demonstrated in transfusion practice, suggesting that training interventions may lead to sustainable long-term improvements.
