Use
the extra hour to save a life
THIS month we take advantage of
enjoying an extra hour as the clocks go back. NHS Blood and
Transplant (NHSBT) are hoping that people will use the extra time to
give blood.
With blood in constant demand new donors are always needed and
figures show that 4% of the eligible population donate regularly. It
only takes an hour and it really can save someone’s life.
Pam Prescott from NHSBT said:- “The need for blood is constant
and we are calling on people to find that extra hour in a day to
come and give blood. Hospitals need to be stocked up and thanks to
dedicated donors, this is made possible. The autumn provides us with
an extra hour as the clocks go back, so we would encourage donors to
take advantage of this and help save a life.”
Blood is not just used in accident and emergency situations, but to
treat a range of illnesses like cancer, anaemia and premature
babies. Each
blood donation can be split into component parts, so just 1 unit of
donated blood can be used to help save the lives of 3 people.
Anyone aged between 17-65, weighing more than 50 kg (7 stone 12lbs)
and in general good health could potentially start saving lives by
becoming a blood donor. There is no upper age limit for donors who
have donated in the last 2 years.
