A number of advisory committees and working groups work with Canadian Blood Services on issues and initiatives related to organ donation and transplantation activities. Their work includes providing expert advice and direction on national clinical policy and practice, operational requirements, standardization of procedures, interprovincial organ sharing and development of the Canadian Transplant Registry services. These groups also provide input to strategic direction and initiative development and prioritization.
