Working Parties

Meet colleagues and discuss your work. If you are an ISBT member and have a solid background in a specific topic related to the field of Transfusion Medicine, you can join one of the ISBT Working Parties.

Our Working Parties are topic-driven groups that promote science research and best practice in their areas of expertise across the transfusion chain.  As a member of a working party you can actively discuss your work with like-minded colleagues from around the globe, attend working party meetings, have access to the members-only content and join discussions.

Currently, ISBT has a total of 17 Working Parties, some of them work closely together. Each Working Party has a formal committee structure and is coordinated by a Chair or Co-Chairs. To read more information about the Working Parties, click on the Working Party of interest below.
