There is always an urgent need for blood donations as it has a shelf life. Male donors can safely donate blood 4 times every 12 months, as long as they wait 12 weeks between donations, whilst female donors can still donate 3 times every 12 months. This is because levels of iron must be maintained ensuring a donor is not put at risk. Whilst there is no demographic information available regarding Moulton, NHSBT look to achieve approximately 4% of each area’s eligible population ie: those aged 17+ and who are in general good health. It is fair to say that year on year Moulton has done well and should be proud of its donation record – well done! 26 | MOULTON SCENE • Spring 2013
