Based within NHS Trusts in 10 geographical regions, the medical and nursing teams deliver a range of therapeutic treatments using specialist machines that exchange, remove or collect specific components from within the blood. 

The multidisciplinary teams provide patients with access to high-quality apheresis services, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
