Blood Administration Resources – Clinical Resources
A new provincial Consent/Refusal of Blood Transfusions form (SHA 0723) for use across the Saskatchewan Health Authority is effective October 27, 2026. This document was developed to support informed decision-making, consistent documentation and compliance with consent requirement for the administration of blood components and blood products.
To enable a period of transition, use of former regional health authority (RHA) forms to obtain new consent/refusal for blood administration must not extend beyond December 31, 2026. Use of the new form by MRP (or designate) as soon as possible following release is expected.
