admin — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:52:08 +0000

The functions and responsibilities of IBTS include organising and administering a blood transfusion service including the acquisition and processing of blood and the supply of blood derivatives or other blood products – these are truly life saving / or life improving activities.

It is essential that blood donors and patients understand the important relationship they have, a relationship safely empowered and managed by IBTS.

We have carried out a number of important projects for the Irish Blood Transfusion Service and these were the points of reference we used when designing these important elements of effective communications collateral – the IBTS Annual Reports and their Strategic Plan. Our work communicates that the person is at the centre of the IBTS commitment to excellence.
