This Mother's Day we celebrate the strength of mums like Nicola. 💖

Nicola's daughter Lauren needed platelets every 10 days and blood transfusions every 18-21 days to stay alive!

To give back, Nicola organised a blood donation session with her workplace, to help raise awareness and keep our hosptials stocked.

Your donation could give families like Nicola's & Lauren's the chance to keep fighting for their future.

🩸 Give blood or help raise awareness today. Visit www.NIBTS.org

🧪 Healthcare Science Week (9–15 March) 🩸

Behind every blood transfusion is a team of skilled scientists working in the lab to make it possible.

Meet Billie, a Biomedical Scientist in Hospital Services at the Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service.

Billie and her colleagues process urgent orders for blood components for hospitals and pharmacies across Northern Ireland, supporting people in surgery, childbirth, trauma care, cancer treatment and even newborn babies.

"There are a lot of tasks I carry out daily that collectively help save lives. We work carefully and quickly to get blood to patients as soon as possible while maintaining the highest quality."

For Billie, the best part of the role is always learning.

"I genuinely enjoy my job. I get to learn so much and use that knowledge every day while knowing the work we do helps save lives."

Healthcare scientists play a vital role behind the scenes in patient care and their work makes a real difference every day.
