Your input is needed on a review considering if iron supplements will help reduce iron deficiency in blood donors

Skills / interests: Patient and public input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on whether iron supplements will help reduce iron deficiency in blood donors?

 

I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Oral or parenteral iron supplementation to reduce deferral, iron deficiency and/or anaemia in blood donors”.

 

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, iron deficiency in blood donors), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making. 

 

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers.

 

Thank you in advance for considering!
