Hello and welcome to day 16 #30days30waysUK. Every week, blood donations are needed across the UK, especially during these times of crisis. Did you know that your blood donation potentially saves the lives of three people? Almost everyone can make a #DateToDonate. It's quick and easy no matter where you live in the UK. If you have recovered from COVID-19, then your blood plasma donation is particularly important. Today, we begin with the BBC Earth Lab video "How does blood donation work". Click on the link or the image to access the video.
If you have recovered from COVID-19 your blood is especially important. This @GiveBloodNHS video explains about convalescent plasma. Important also are blood donations from the BAME community "...we must have more black donors because of tremendous need..." This NHS video from earlier this year explains. So, to make a #DateToDonate and find out more about blood donations where you live head to
