Non Medical Authorisation of Blood Components (NMA) course

The aim of the NMA course is to provide the theoretical foundation supporting the competency process required prior to the authorisation of blood component transfusion. 

Please note, completing the course is not evidence of a practitioner's competence; competence cannot be confirmed by NHS Blood and Transplant or the Royal College of Nursing.
