It was great to be interviewed by The Biomedical Scientist magazine, talking about our work with BBC Casualty Christmas Special and the impact the special episode had for blood donation, new donor registrations and appointments 🎬🩸
Lights, camera, donations
After NHS Blood and Transplant increased donations with a special partnership, we look at the work behind the scenes and the importance of outreach and engagement.

Have you read 'The Story of a Heart' yet? A must read for anyone inspired by #OrganDonation. The beautifully told story of Keira and Max - the young heart donor and recipient who inspired Max and Keira's Law. I will never forget my first read of the manuscript for @doctoroxford.bsky.social 🎄💗
Thrilled to see THE STORY OF A HEART selected as one of @theweek.com’s eight books of the year for 2024 🩷🫀🫁
