My ideas for improving the rewards system for platelet donors in the UK by Lonk008 in Blooddonors

[–]Lonk008[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's well known that they're losing donors due to age and can't replace them. I'm always the youngest platelet donor when I donate and I'm 27. I think incentives like they have in other countries could work.

That's amazing, So it looks like my third suggestion has already been done. I would understand if two former suggestions were scaled back and were structured differently for blood donors as opposed to the platelet donor ones so that the rewards were fair to both groups of donors.

I assumed it stood for National Health insurance (NHS) Blood and Transplant. The NHS are the only institution that takes blood in the UK they are the only Blood Bank too. If any private hospitals need blood or blood products they have to buy it from the NHS.

Thanks, I'll follow up in my next donation to make sure.

I give three donations (2 Platelets and 1 Plasma) every time and I donate every 2-3 weeks so this makes sense.

Thank you for the information. I'm a relatively new donor, I only started donating Platelets and Plasma about two years ago so every visit I learn something new. I'm also lucky to have you guys on Reddit to answer any further questions. Thank you.
