Exceptional teamwork between three NABB groups today (Monday 6th July) to ensure the prompt delivery of an urgent frozen sample. The journey started at 9am when the item was collected at Galloway Community Hospital in Stranraer. Dave Hook from Dumfries & Galloway Blood Bikes took it to a handover at Gretna, where Alan Bragg from Blood Bikes Cumbria Community carried it to a second rendezvous point at Low Row, near Carlisle. 
Alan Ross from Northumbria Blood Bikes then took the package for the remainder of its journey to the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. 
The entire operation was flawless and took just over three hours, covering over 170 miles with three separate groups, none of which provide a service on a Monday daytime, but all agreed and arranged to do the job without question. Well done guys.... brilliant example of co-operation between groups!
