The Journey of Blood: What happens after you give blood | NHS Give Blood

Here's what happens after you give blood. This video takes you through all the steps after a blood donation - it includes processing in a laboratory when white blood cells are removed, separating the components of plasma, platelets and red blood cells, and delivering blood products to hospitals.

A big THANK YOU to all that donate blood. I'm alive today because of people like you. Very much appreciated.

[@DawnshieId]

You're most welcome. I just love you. 🤍

I gave my 67th pint last sunday, its my way of paying back to the nhs for all the times they saved/patched me up after cycling accidents. Funny but in all that time i have never had or needed a blood transfusion. My father was a rare group, but i am as common as muck. (O+) no matter your group, you are very important. I just did the easy bit, you lot do the most complex bit.

I just donated yesterday for the first time. Found out through the app that I'm the "Universal Donor" O negative 😮

[@JosephRawsthorne31]

Am o- my self ❤

[@mgtowchampion7961]

Oh thats very nice of you to give blood that you never got paid for. I would never give blood unless I would get paid for it. Money puts food on the table and not your "good intentions"

[@ColonelRoge]

Me too, the king of bloods ✊lol

[@ColonelRoge]

@@mgtowchampion7961 Wow, you must be super hard up if you’re selling your blood for money.

[@ShiftedReality90]

​@@mgtowchampion7961 Thats a selfish attitude in my opinion but each to their own

[@carterp2858]

Donated for the first time today as part of a university society. After watching this video, I will definitely be trying to donate again in the future!

[@geoffreycoan]

O+. Been giving since I was 18 and have donated 105 times now

[@jaybristowe2346]

Did you get the medal?

[@geoffreycoan]

@@jaybristowe2346 I got a badge, certificate and was invited to a celebration lunch for my 100 donations

[@user-yi2le7fg1x]

I'm Indonesian, my blood type is AB+. I started donating my blood since 17th y o. I've been giving for 174 times. I feel great and happy. Thanks for this amazing video. 😊

[@GhostsAreReall]

I just donated for the first time the other day and found out I have AB+ with Ro subtype, which is apparently very rare. Already booked my next donation appointment and can't wait to give as much as I need to! It feels good to give back ☺️

[@nicolesmith8409]

Thank you, I'm a RN and a donor. You are appreciated.

[@Friendship1nmillion]

I'm watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 . I'm a blood donor , I have the universal donor blood type O Negative . I just donated whole blood a couple of days ago . Sending a text to blood donors about where & how their blood donation has been used Isn't something that is done in Australia . Although I was surprised to learn from watching a similar video a few minutes ago that America exports platelets donations to other countries such as Australia . ♑️✍️🇳🇴

[@dontpanicblink]

WHY NOBODY SEEMS TO HELP HIM WHAT IF A MILLIONAIRE NEEDS HIS BLOOD ? thats worth something to the rich person

[@RikAindow]

I'm about to give blood for the first time next week. It's a journey that's 22 years in the making as I had a horrible experience with a few bullies and needles back in high school which gave me a huge phobia of needles. Wish me luck!

[@ShiftedReality90]

Gave my 2nd donation yesterday and feel like I'm doing something good for the world. I'm a A+ blood type. I hope my blood saves some lives

[@dontpanicblink]

[@roberthendy2]

Very interesting vid!

[@Opticians-Malta]

hi from Malta Donate center 💪❤ i do it every 6 months and i am 46yo.

[@aabifauzi5087]

what if someone didn't has enough blood to donate like a bottle can they give a string (tika ) only as usual its is also very difficult that when i visit for my blood test usually my (tika) would not been able to fill since i had been going through this process since my early childhood or infancy?

[@AMB994]

I'm ready✌️

[@charliemckellar]

I used to donate years ago and back then they would take a small sample by pricking your ear which wasn’t painful but then they changed their procedure to a finger prick because it is claimed to be more accurate. No idea how as blood is blood I’d have thought. Anyway for some people myself included having the sample done on your finger is really painful maybe because I have thick skin on my hands. After the first time experiencing it on my finger I decided not to go back again because of that. I’m not good with needles at the best of times but still donated till they changed their procedure. Can anyone make sense of how their test is more accurate by taking a sample from your finger than your ear?

[@koreeeyk]

I wonder if the Red Cross has a similar video or is this process similar for USA

[@user-fy4im4nq6n]

👍

[@01kaluks24]

how does 1 blood donation save 3 lives?

[@devam8193]

Can u donate if you have an iron deficiency

[@Acj81]

No but they will always test you by pricking your finger first if you blood sinks in the solution you can donate if it floats you don’t have enough iron. X

[@adiohead]

If you have a deficiency then take iron supplements and eat iron rich foods.

WHEN IS THE NHS BLOOD SERVICE GOING TO OFFER SPIKE PROTEIN FREE BLOOD FOR TRANSFUSION? WE WHO HAVE NOT HAD ANY COVID VAXXINATIONS, DO NOT WANT TO BE INFECTED WITH SPIKE PROTEIN CONTAMINATED BLOOD, IF WE NEED A TRANSFUSION

[@m3ggles]

[@user-ti7bo7qx7w]

[@hakanural8007]

Alt yazı türkce olsaydı anlattıklarını okurdum sadece izliyorum

[@dontpanicblink]

sorry but i have stopped donating ( AB -) as i feel my blood is worth money, a lot of money, rich people dont work for free 1 day a week out of the goodness of their heart.
