Blood donation is a simple yet impactful way to contribute to the well-being of others. Today, on World Blood Donor Day, we recognise the important role that blood donors play in saving lives. In the UK, there are specific guidelines that determine who can and cannot donate blood, below we provide an overview of these guidelines.
Donating blood may seem like a small act, but it plays a huge role in saving lives during emergencies and supporting individuals who need long-term medical treatments. It is also important to note that blood has a short shelf life, just 35 days, so stock needs to be constantly replenished. So, if you can donate your blood, please consider doing it.
