“Receiving a Blood Transfusion” patient information leaflet has now been translated in 25 languages. The translations are available to download and print locally, but not available to order as hard copies.

This is a collaboration across all the UK countries for the benefit of patients across the UK, consequently the format and style of the translations do vary.   

No decision has been made regarding other leaflets, but discussions are still ongoing.
