EBMT
Accreditation – New Guidelines
The aim of EBMT accreditation is to provide an indication of the quality of a Clinical HSCT Programme based on experience in terms of the number of new patients transplanted each year. Length of experience of the programme is also a factor taken into consideration.
Since June this year we have seen over 178 member
centres renewing their EBMT Accreditation and this has again highlighted to us
the importance of EBMT Accreditation for our members. In order to facilitate applications
the EBMT Accreditation Committee has provided some guidelines to clearly explain
the process and how transplants are counted for these purposes.
The full set of instructive guidelines can now be downloaded from the EBMT Website
by clicking here.
