What the notice says
The Welsh Blood Service (WBS) (a division of Velindre University NHS Trust) is commissioned by LHBs to be the supplier of blood components for customer hospitals across NHS Wales and plays a fundamental part in the delivery of healthcare in Wales. The Service aims to ensure that the donor’s gift of blood is transformed into safe and effective blood components, which allow NHS Wales to improve the quality of life and save the lives of many thousands of people in Wales every year.Red cells from those donors with sickle cell trait can be safely transfused into most patients, except those with sickle cell disease (SCD), neonates, and paediatrics, due to the higher risk of red cell sickling, resulting in patient harm.The Welsh Blood Service are therefore looking to appoint a suitably qualified supplier to provide a Managed Service contract for Haemoglobin-S Testing
