Group A positive blood
Always in demand, group A makes your donations vital
35% of the population, you included, have blood group A Rh positive. 7% of the population, have blood group A Rh negative. That
makes a combined total of 42% of the population having blood group A.
Of all the people needing blood at any given time, Group A will be needed
by almost half of them. And because stocks only last a limited time, this
makes it important that you continue to give on a regular basis.
We can guarantee that your blood will make an amazing difference. Whether
it's used to treat patients in an emergency, or in cancer treatment and
in planned operations like hip replacement, or to help a mother and baby
in childbirth, it could be the difference between life and death.
You can give blood three times a year. So we hope you'll make doing something
amazing a regular habit.

The first ever donor awards ceremony held in Truro had a very
special guest of honour - a 10-year-old boy who owes his life
to blood donors. Conrad Lobb (picture above), who is suffering
from a sarcoma tumour, knows first hand how vital blood donors
are and he wanted to thank personally the 50 Cornish donors
who had come along to receive awards for commitment to blood
donoring.
