For the next 2 weeks @PBM_NHS are focussing on O D neg. I’ve got a few #tweetorials up my sleeve; but why is O D neg so important? Can I convince you to make focussing on saving this #preciousblood your #Onegoal for the fortnight? #blooducation
@PBM_NHS Overall red cell issues are falling but O D neg use is static/rising due to increased survival of trauma patients to hospital and increased complexity of transplantation – this is a good thing! But as a %, O D neg use is going up. 
@PBM_NHS O D neg people comprise 7% of both patient and donor population; O D neg patients need O D neg blood, and other key patient groups too (more on that later), so we are always needing to ask more of our O neg donors than others.
