It highlights nursing responsibilities in donor engagement, clinical governance, transfusion safety at the bedside, and intraoperative blood recovery, noting that these roles involve complex clinical judgment and coordination but remain insufficiently described in practice and research. The article calls for enhanced clinical scholarship to clearly define nursing competencies, develop nurse-led interventions, and establish nursing-sensitive safety indicators to improve haemotherapy outcomes. It suggests that increased visibility of nursing contributions could strengthen workforce planning, governance, and innovation in transfusion safety and blood stewardship. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: letter Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
