Thank you NightOwl for your continued and very generous support of Shropshire Staffordshire Cheshire Blood Bikes
I love this bike name - probably because I do a bit of night time controlling. Love the graphics too.
What a great looking model you’ve found for the first job !)
Not only a good name for our overnight work, but also my favourite Gerry Rafferty track! youtu.be/4vTnff0pkgs
Great job !
SSCBB are proud to support The Milk Bank at Chester.
The number of collections you did from me back when we were able to give... it's amazing work you all do!
🙏
Heroes!!!! Many thanks for all you do❤
Lovely to receive a private message from one of the hospitals that Jon visited, saying how grateful her ward was for our service and special thanks to Jon.
Thank you Jon H 👏👏and all behind the scenes, we appreciated you all 😘😘 PS I wasn’t working this afternoon to greet you at RSH x
Unsung heroes. Our country would be a better place if there were more people like you and your colleagues. Thank you all for that you do!
I’m sure lots of people are unaware what a sterling job you do,I must admit I had no idea till one of the Bikers came to Hanwood WI last year to explain just what there job entails. (I think it might have been Jon). We were all surprised and amazed to hear how much of their time they give up to help run this valuable service. Through this talk one our members husband now volunteers to man the phones which is an important role. Thank you all for your time and energy which you give to this wonderful service.
Great job guys, thank you for being there
That’s a helluva shift, we’ll done Jon. Glad to be able to take on the 2nd Birmingham run. 👌

Brilliant work lads. What would we do with out you.
Nice one Jon.

Thank you.
Sat outside the Wound Healing Service in Telford waiting for my Dad and one of the blood bikes arrived. I took the opportunity to thank the rider for the amazing job they do and as volunteers, they don’t get the recognition they deserve 👏
Well done - on the odd occasion we have been on shift together: a pleasure
There's no going back now, onwards and upwards. 👍
I've used this phrase in the past, our controllers They are like Angel's in your lug holes. Some are little devils but not all👍😂
Kath's probably on phone to me. These are our hidden heroes. Thanks to all of our controllers.
Bless all these volunteers, what would we do without them and our Air Ambulance 🌈🌈🌈🌈
Thank you for your service 💓
I miss those days of having a biker collect my milk donations it's such an amazing thing you are doing 😊
It was being a breastfeeding peer supporter that raised my interest in blood bikes.
Amazing group of volunteers. Thank you to all Blood Bikers! <3
A pleasure to be part of a fabulous team, looking forward to my shift tomorrow.

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
