Valuable lesson in how to save lives

CALLING all secondary school teachers in Derbyshire, young people are now learning about saving lives.

Blood, organ and stem cell donation are now on the key stage 3 and 4 curriculum and we have some free online resources to help you teach this important topic to 11to 16-year-olds.

Your pupils can be empowered to discuss and decide about donation and we hope they’ll prompt conversations at home, too. Visit www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/teachingresources to find out more, we have detailed lessons and optional extra activities.

You can also request a speaker, many of whom have a personal story linked to donation, to attend a school assembly.
