Looking good Nigel!

Very smart indeed, heated everything?

200 VITAL MILES.  Last week we received an urgent request from Countess of Chester hospital for a childs blood sample to be taken to Great Ormond Street Hospital for a very specialised test. This had to be processed within hours of it being taken, Unfortunately the blood bike group serving the London area couldnt provide a rider at such short notice but we didnt want to refuse such an urgent request. Our Cheshire rider, Danny D set off from Chester at 12:30 and handed to E. Staffs Rider Alan P at the M6 Toll. Alan fought the London rush hour traffic to arrive at Great Ormond Street at 5pm. #itswhatwedo

Sadly these runs to Great Ormond Street are becoming more frequent. Today, Steve our rider from Blood Bikes Wales picked up a sample from the Children's Hospital, Cardiff And met up with Mark, the blood biker from Surrey and South London to deliver to Great Ormond Street Hospital. What a great team of volunteers and great working in cooperation.

Well done to Riders and Controllers... And my thoughts also go to the young patient who needed the vital tests x

Did a new rider induction at Sandyford today, and took a look at the car in its new livery it does stand out and looks fabulous, thanks to all who are making use of this new asset to SSCBB. I’m sure it will make a difference during winter months when motorcycles are not the best option for making deliveries on behalf of the NHS. But will enable SSCBB to offer a service in adverse conditions.

Brilliant.. and just in time for the winter when it could sometimes be too dangerous for the bikers to get through.

Looks very smart A useful addition

Great to see a well thought out livery for driver safety. Excellent addition to the team. Well done all.

Certainly looks the part… great addition.

Perfect timing with the winter on the way. Well done

Great vehicle for overnight and when the british weather is being british.

What people say about us

“The blood bikes are vital to getting our life saving faecal transplants to critically ill patients with C. dificile infection”

Professor Peter Hawkey, FMT Service Lead, PHE Public Health Laboratory Birmingham

“On a regular basis we need to transport samples urgently, between Shrewsbury and Telford, and also from here in Shropshire to Birmingham and beyond. In the past it has been quite difficult, out of hours, to get those samples moving quickly, so it has made a huge difference to us to be able to rely on blood bikes to get those samples moving for us.”

Debbie Jones, Support Services Care Group Director Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust

“The voluntary service the blood bikes offer us has been instrumental in widening the scope of our FMT service across the country and ensuring costs are a low as possible for the NHS”

Dr Vicki McCune, FMT Service Manager PHE Public Health Laboratory Birmingham

“There is certainly times when the quicker we can get results back, the better the outcome for the patient, so blood bikes are helping to save lives and, at the same time, they are saving the NHS lots of money”

Debbie Jones, Support Services Care Group Director Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust

“We are so grateful to the volunteer riders who give up their time to courier blood products and urgent samples for testing between our hospitals and the regional NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) centre in Birmingham. Every minute counts when it comes to helping seriously-ill and injured patients and being able to call on the blood bikes round the clock helps us to provide safe, effective treatment and transfusions.”

Paula Gardener, Chief Nurse Burton Hospital Trust (covering Burton, Lichfield and Tamworth)

“We very much appreciate all of their efforts and the support they give both SaTH and the wider NHS.”

Debbie Jones, Support Services Care Group Director Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust
