Overview
- NHS Blood and Transplant named ten men aged 31 to 64 who have donated blood, plasma, platelets and stem cells since the organisation was formed in 2005.
- All ten are on the NHS Organ Donor Register, a commitment praised by NHSBT donor‑experience director Mark Chambers, who urged more people to donate.
- The ten are Adam Murchington, Andrew Bruce, Andy Stowe, Anthony Robson, Christopher Black, Henry Care, James Allen, Robert Clay, Stuart Reader and Tim Sargeant.
- Profiles highlight Andrew Bruce of County Durham, an O‑negative donor who first gave blood at 18 and donated stem cells in 2010, and Andy Stowe of Birmingham, who donated stem cells in 2013 and now gives plasma fortnightly.
- NHSBT cited 964,000 donors in 2024 to underline how uncommon such comprehensive giving is, noting these components support emergency care, cancer treatment and blood disorders.
