After a helpful nudge during a recent catchup with @AntonyTiernan, I'm really pleased our royal college is adopting the @GiveBloodNHS Staff Donate Breaks initiative. We're hoping other organisations do the same😊
Our College has introduced 'donate breaks', meaning our staff will be able to donate blood during the working day. Blood stocks are critically low, and one hour of your time can save three lives. Help patients like Issac and donate today: blood.co.uk
“Legacy is not leaving something for people, it's leaving something in people.” Today we remember Dr Kate Granger who died on this day in 2016. Kate’s powerful #HelloMyNameIs campaign inspired thousands across the NHS having a huge impact on patients and staff.

On Friday, I made my first-ever plasma donation with @GiveBloodNHS – a simple act that can help save lives and reduce our reliance on imported medicines. If you're in the West Midlands, please consider donating too. It’s quick, easy, and vital. 👉 blood.co.uk…
Following a phenomenal response from donors, the amber alert on blood stocks is to be stood down from 21 July. The NHS needs blood all year round, so we encourage anyone who can donate to still do so. Find out more. ➡️ nhsbt.nhs.uk/news/national-…
Thanks to an amazing response from donors, staff and hospitals, the national blood shortage alert will end on Monday. Thousands of people came forward to donate, and NHS teams worked incredibly hard to manage supplies. Read the full story here: linkedin.com/posts/antonyti…

The NHS has pleaded for donations of a rare blood type in the South East, saying supplies are at one of their lowest points in recent years. Tap below to read more: bbc.in/3UipvOs

Honoured to meet the incredible @sonsareliveson in Parliament today. He received a double lung transplant in 2023 - and now shares his powerful story to inspire others to join the NHS Organ Donor Register. Over 8,000 people, including 276 children, are still waiting.

Twenty years on from the 7/7 attacks, we remember all those whose lives were lost and those whose lives were changed forever. We honour the bravery of the first responders, and the strength of the survivors. Those who try to divide us will always fail.
On this day in 1960, the founder of the NHS, Nye Bevan died. His memorial, which is in Ebbw Vale, comprises 4 blocks of stone - the largest represents Bevan, the others the 3 towns in his constituency. The stones sit on the spot where Bevan regularly addressed his constituents.

Happy 77th birthday to my lovely friend @AneiraThomas, the first baby born on the NHS - delivered at 12.01am, 5 July, 1948 #HappyBirthdayNHS #NHS77

Happy Birthday to the NHS! You’re not perfect, but for 77 years you’ve supported our nation with care and compassion. You’ve looked after me and my family - including my brother Mark, who had cancer at 16. He’s now 56 and has twin daughters. #NHS77 #ThankYouNHS

Huge thanks to Hollywood stars @ARamosofficial and Dominique Thorne for backing our call for more people to give blood - especially those from Black communities #GiveBlood #Ironheart

Like almost all MPs I don’t know why the Chancellor was upset in the Chamber today, but I do hope she is okay and back to her duties this afternoon. Seeing another person in distress is always very difficult, and we are wishing her well.
