This National Blood Week we’ve been inspiring the country to get talking about blood types. Do you know yours?
One million new blood donors are needed over the next five years to ensure patients continue to receive the types of blood they need.
There’s a particular need for Black African, Black Caribbean and younger donors, to ensure we can double the number of donors with the rarest blood types. This will enable better matched blood types for patients in the future and reduce health inequalities.
