Frail patients in-home transfusions

Those patients who are frail and have nursing needs at home can have blood transfusions in place:

1) GP writes forms and asks DNs to take 2 Group & Save samples (separated by 30mins)

2) Call Acute Care At Home to schedule the blood transfusions (and complete forms on the linked page)
