Professor Richard Wilding, Joanna Dobbin and Sue Cotton discuss the U.K. blood supply chain in which blood given on a purely voluntary basis is distributed to patients suffering from a variety of illnesses: the careful management of the supply chain is essential, and the balance of supply and demand is a matter of life and death. This video gives an overview of the blood supply chain as a whole, looking at the types and movement of blood components and information, relationships involved and the problems that are present in the system.
