Appeal for Easter blood donors
THE National
Blood Service is appealing for people in Merseyside to make time to
give blood as the Easter bank holiday approaches.
It is particularly crucial that people continue to donate blood over
the next few weeks as blood donation sessions are not held over the
extended weekend. Although supplies of red blood cells in the region
are currently healthy, the break from blood collection can affect
supplies of blood products such as platelets, which have a shelf
life of just five days.
Platelets are tiny fragments of cells which help the blood to clot.
They are often given to patients undergoing chemotherapy or
radiotherapy, which can lower platelet levels. The platelets from
four donations of blood are ‘pooled’ to make enough for an adult
transfusion.
Rachel Roberts, spokesperson for the National Blood Service, said:-
“It is incredibly important as we approach the Easter break
that all our donors make a special effort to give blood. As well as
helping maintain our platelet supplies, over five thousand
lifesaving units of red blood cells will also be needed this month
for patients in Merseyside.”
Anyone aged over 17 and up to their 60th birthday, weighing more
than 50 kg (7 stone 12 lbs) and in general good health could
potentially start saving lives by becoming a blood donor. For more
information on giving blood, including details of your nearest blood
donation session, call 0845 7 711 711 or visit
