The Blood Components Working Party (WP) was formed in 2021 and is still under development.
The WP plans to develop guidance, standards and operating procedures and to serve as a knowledge base for ISBT members. Also to organise and coordinate webinars and educational sessions and to collaborate with other WPs in areas of common interest.
