Personal tragedy inspired psychiatric nurse, Carol Grayson, to become active in Haemophilia Action and start to research the blood products industry. Her MA thesis was a major force in getting an independent Public Inquiry on the issue of contaminated blood in the NHS. She is an inspirational activist and researcher who will not give up until justice is done.

Carol has been invited by the MA in Activism and Social Change to give a public seminar on the commercialisation of blood, evidence of a cover up by the UK government over the infection of patients with contaminated blood, the role of corporations and politicians, and how patients and practitioners are fighting back.
