We're supporting @GiveBloodNHS in an appeal for more blood donors in Leeds. While all blood types are needed, the NHS particularly needs O negative and O positive donors. Book an appointment today to give blood at Leeds Donor Centre. Visit https://t.co/sBNWmq65yJ.

Teaching isn’t always the hardest part of becoming a Clinical Educator. The invisible workload and lack of training can leave staff feeling frustrated and alone. If you’re a Clinical Educator, please tell NHS Elect what support would help: https://t.co/ZGDspKRJQL @lthtwande

My ask of all drs this August:
1.Don’t EVER take 2 samples at once and label them with different times. If you understand the danger, you won’t ever be tempted
2.Challenge this practice if you see it done; educate your colleagues

Every doctor starting in a new trust does transfusion training as part of their mandatory training. But why?

Thank you just doesn’t ever seem quite sufficient to convey the pride and gratitude for the work the Biomedical Science workforce has provided to the wider health economy not only over the last two years but also for everyday with every diagnosis we provide! @IBMScience
