Golden blood stocks

NHS platelet supplies, which are small gold-coloured cells in the blood which help it to clot and stop bleeding, go to patients undergoing cancer treatment

I’m Paul Hutton with news that so-called “golden blood” stocks are now approaching minimum levels. NHS platelet supplies, which are small gold-coloured cells in the blood which help it to clot and stop bleeding, go to patients undergoing cancer treatment. NHS Blood and Transplant says there’s now only just over half a day’s supply, and an amber alert has been issued. Hospitals have been told to protect their stocks, which could see non-urgent operations requiring blood being cancelled or postponed. For more care news stay with us here at Care Radio
