Education and training of healthcare staff involved in blood transfusion is essential. The endorsement of educational courses aimed at developing knowledge in transfusion medicine.

Management of Transfusion Medicine programme (MTM)
The Management of Transfusion Medicine programme (MTM) was set up in 2001 by the Academic Institute for International Development of Transfusion Medicine (IDTM), a collaboration of University of Groningen and Sanquin. It is a unique programme for current and potential leaders of blood banks in medium and low income countries.

Specialist Certificate in Transfusion Science Practice
This course is organised by the British Blood Transfusion Society (BBTS) and designed to provide a thorough grounding in the theory and practice of transfusion science as conducted within the modern transfusion science laboratory. In particular, the programme will provide the learner with evidence of specialist knowledge in transfusion science, following Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registration at practitioner level, required to demonstrate specialist and independent practice capabilities (NHS career framework grade 6 and above). This course aims to give the learner the knowledge, understanding, analytical and practical skills to interpret data, solve problems and provide solutions to differing laboratory situations, commensurate with the level of Specialist Practitioner in Transfusion Science.

Blood Donor Recruiter Education and Certification Program
A shortage of donors is, arguably, the most pressing problem facing most low and middle-income countries. This is certainly true in Africa, especially as nations strive to improve their healthcare infrastructure with the offer of more blood intensive therapies against a background of inadequate current supply. But, until now, resources to improve and share best donor recruitment and retention practices in these settings have been sparse or non-existent.
