Blood Matters has developed subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) clinical practice guidance, including tools and resources to assist Victorian health services implementing SCIg programs.

SCIg promotional posters

Do you have patients with an immunodeficiency or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy?

These A3 posters are designed to be displayed in patient waiting rooms to promote the conversation about SCIg as a potential therapy.

Resources to use with patients

Do your eligible patients know about SCIg?

Use the Blood Matters conversation starter, or a letter like Eastern Health's, to identify eligible patients who may be interested in transitioning to SCIg.

Is your patient planning an overseas holiday?

Our SCIg travel guide will help you prepare any patients who are planning to take their SCIg product on an overseas holiday.
