This is our 1st edition of William Harvey’s groundbreaking ‘Exercitatio Anatomica De Motu Cordis…’, published in 1628, which is often cited as the most important book in the history of medicine. Harvey was the first to recognize the full circulation of the blood in the human body #NationalBloodWeek

This gel card was donated for our Blood exhibition by the blood bank at St James's Hospital in Leeds.

According to an NHS Blood and Transplant survey for #NationalBloodWeek ten years ago, people in Leeds are among the least likely to know their blood type. Only 36% of people were aware of their own

National Blood Week

In the UK, this is National Blood Week. The NHS is currently short of 200,000 donors.
I've been a platelet donor for a while - I donate about every four weeks. It's painless and incredibly worthwhile.
If you can, please volunteer to donate:

🩸 It’s #NationalBloodWeek – and we urgently need more donors.

Only 800,000 gave blood last year - just 2% of the population. We need 1 million to avoid a red alert that could delay operations.

It takes 1 hour to give someone a lifetime.
