Happy Blood Donor Week

This week is Blood Donor Week, an annual celebration to thank the blood donors of Scotland.

#MissingType

From Monday 11 to Friday 15 June 2018 we're asking you to show your support by taking part in the #MissingType campaign.

#MissingType aims to raise awareness of the importance of blood groups, as not every blood type can help every patient: the missing A's, B's and O's signify missing A, B and O blood donors across the country.

Joining in is simple. Just download and print out one of our flashcards, fill in your name (or a message of support) missing out the A's, B's and O's, and email us a selfie to nss.snbtsenquiry@nhs.scot

For everyone who is giving blood this week, thank you - we would love to hear from you.

Please join in by signing up as a blood donor, giving blood, and sending us your pics.

Happy Blood Donor Week, everyone.
