Abstract:
Transport products blood and samples of human blood is one of the keys of transfusional safety forcing all actors to update their know how and to comply with rigorous rules and high level capabilities requirements. This must lead blood transfusion institutes and medical and biologic laboratories to implement specific process insuring safe transport, preservation and avaibility of the items in accordance with patients' therapic needs. Training and regular valuation of involved actors make necessary to update tools and training methods. E-learning allows a fast and homogeneous learning.
