Summary A joint working group established by the Haemato‐oncology subgroup of the B ritish C ommittee for S tandards in H aematology ( BCSH ) and the B ritish S ociety for B one M arrow T ransplantation ( BSBMT ) has reviewed the available literature and made recommendations for the diagnosis and management of chronic graft‐versus‐host disease ( G v HD ). This guideline includes recommendations for the diagnosis and staging of chronic G v HD as well as primary treatment and options for patients with steroid‐refractory disease. The goal of treatment should be the effective control of G v HD while minimizing the risk of toxicity and relapse.
