Blood donors are urgently needed to fill sessions in Portsmouth.

Hospitals are growing increasingly concerned as there has been a significant decrease in people donating blood and they need more donations to ensure that stock levels do not fall any lower.

Blood stock levels around the country have fallen due to increased cancellations due to illness and the annual dip over the summer months when people go abroad.

The NHS is urging people to donate blood at the upcoming sessions in Portsmouth.

Donors with O positive are particularly needed but donors of all blood types are welcome.
