I hope you get somewhere with it though I know the rare occassion when you could do with urgent blood in the community (ie a PPH at a home birth or similar).

think we're steering away from blood and SCotblood are unco-operative to say the least - though i'm sure we can stop FV spending £200 per day on a taxi to wait around for the possibilty that something/someone may need transporting.

@Guru - we've managed to find a guy that has already started something simil;ar and trying to get it off the ground at the mo. He's made inroads with the NHS and seems supportive so far but everything is dragging along as always

We're also looking at the human milk aspect which is often forgotten about. Very important in the care of premature kids.
