Welcome to the Patient Blood Management Program

Welcome to the Perioperative Patient Blood Management Program (PPBMP) website. This website has been designed to answer your questions about blood transfusions and alternatives, and to give you information about our program.

The purpose of PPBMP is to help patients who will be having an operation to decrease, or completely avoid, the need for blood transfusion. The PPBMP at London Health Sciences Centre uses a team approach to create a plan of care for each patient.
