This winter health and care providers are experiencing additional pressures due to seasonal viruses. These infections can spread quickly through hospitals and care homes causing patients, residents and staff to become unwell. Avoid unnecessary contact with others if you’re unwell

PLEASE SHARE: Storm Eowyn has meant a loss of 152 donations today. This will mean less availability of blood components. Stocks are at safe levels but please help us recover by booking an appointment to donate. Thank you #stormeowyn #redweatherwarning scotblood.co.uk
