The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU), representing 158,000 Canadian nurses and student nurses, has launched a campaign to keep nurses at the initial donor screening as opposed to replacing them with Multi-skilled Workers as suggested by The Canadian Blood Services (CBS).

CBS's proposal to replace nurses in the donor screening process is currently under review with Health Canada.

To voice your support to keep nurses as initial donor screeners, improving the chances of detecting illness or disease in potential donors and ensuring a safer blood supply please visit Safe Blood .
