Donors will be able to follow the route their blood takes using Google Maps

Donors will be able to follow the route their blood takes using Google Maps Donors will be able to track the journey their blood takes through Google Maps in a bid to encourage more people to donate.

Roadmaps will be emailed to all donors showing which NHS hospital gets their blood and where it is processed.

NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is hoping to attract more donors and retain those with in-demand blood types, such as O negative and Ro.

The initiative will be rolled out this week for donors in England and Wales. The Daily Mail
