B12 and folate deficiency toolkit
This toolkit supports healthcare professionals managing patients with B12 and folate deficiency, and any associated anaemia.
Vitamin B12 and folate deficiency are common conditions which are often overlooked in patient blood management.
Better awareness of these deficiencies, their management and the patient groups most at risk will help promote effective identification and treatment to correct or prevent any resulting anaemia.
B12 deficiency can cause irreversible damage if not treated in a timely manner and can impact the treatment of any coexisting iron deficiency.
