Talk on the Global Blood Trade and its Victims

sh | 22.04.2008 09:05 | Globalisation | Health

On Mon 28 April (5.15pm in School of Geography, Leeds), Carol Grayson will give a seminar on the ‘Global Blood Trade and its Victims’. She will talk about how blood has become a lucrative globalised commodity, the dire implications for patients’ welfare, and the campaigns fighting for justice.

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.

Monday 28 April 2008, 5.15pm

Venue: Geography Lecture Theatre, School of Geography, East Building, University Road, University of Leeds
