Information
NHS Blood and Transplant need to maintain a regular supply of all blood types to ensure the right blood is available to everyone who needs it. We need enough of the right types of blood to meet day-to-day patient needs and to cope with emergencies. Some blood types are in higher demand from hospitals than others. For example, anyone can receive the red cells from O negative donors. So O negative red cells can be used in emergencies or when a person's blood type in unknown. Ro blood is used to treat patients with sickle cell disease, the fastest growing blood disorder in the UK.
When you register as a new donor with our team at NTCL you’ll have the opportunity to find out your likely blood type. So let us take you through those steps of becoming a blood donor and getting that first appointment booked!
