Patient blood management nurse vs transfusion nurse: is it time to merge?

For many years, nurses have performed the tasks related to blood transfusion monitoring and the associated quality-control documentation. There have been multiple job titles given to healthcare providers in this field: haemovigilance officer, transfusion practitioner, transfusion nurse, patient blood management (PBM) nurse, blood conservation nurse and blood management nurse. These titles share some overlap in tasks.
