Good to see the team today.

Happy World Blood Donor Day ❤️  #DidYouKnow that by becoming a blood donor, you can save up to 3 lives in 1 hour?  We need your help now more than ever to keep providing lifesaving blood to the NHS.  Whether it be the early hours of the morning, or the end of the night, if a hospital urgently requires blood, blood bikers are there to help.  👉 Find out more about giving blood here - https://www.blood.co.uk/  👉 Find out more about our charity and the work we do here - https://ssbbgroup.org.uk/  #SSCBB #BloodBikes #ItsWhatWeDo

Our Speaker Team Lead, Helen B. was a guest last night at a Charities Presentation Evening held by the Rotarians of Stafford Castle Rotary Club.  Eight chosen charities were invited to join the members for an evening meal and to receive a donation from outgoing President Sinha.  SSCBB have received donations from the Club several times in the past following presentations from our talks team. Helen accepted a very generous donation of £500 on behalf of our charity.

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
