Previous UKTLC Standards
Based on the UKTLC surveys of 2007 and 2008, the ‘Recommended minimum standards for hospital laboratories’ were published in 2009.
The UKTLC revisited its 2009 recommendations and developed them further into minimum standards for education, training, competency and the use of information technology for the hospital transfusion laboratory (UKTLC standards 2014)
