Can you help save lives?
NHS Blood and Transplant has launched its first national campaign for people to donate plasma for medicines. Around 800 donors are needed alone at the Manchester centre to get back on target. Donated plasma is made into antibody medicines known as immunoglobulins, which are used to save the lives of people with immune disorders. Around 17,000 people a year nationally receive these medicines and last year 1,195 people living in Greater Manchester received them. The NHS currently depends on imports so donations will bolster long-term NHS supplies. There are 11 donation centres nationally and the closest ones to Salford are Plymouth Grove Donor Centre, Manchester, M13 9LL and Bolton Donor Centre, 120 Bark Street, Bolton, BL1 2AX. Please visit www.blood.co.uk/plasma or call 0300 123 23 23 for more information.
