This education workbook has been developed by the UK Cell Salvage Action Group to support the theory aspects of training for Intraoperative Cell Salvage (ICS).

The workbook includes background information relevant to the use of ICS e.g. basic haematology. It provides the learner with in-depth theory relating to ICS e.g. indications and contraindications, principles of use and the practicalities for each step of the process.

At the end of each section there are self directed learning questions intended to develop the learner’s awareness of their own organisation's ICS service.

The workbook is linked to the ICS Competency Assessments and can be downloaded as a complete document or as individual sections.
