PL Oliver is due more widespread recognition than he gets. He is responsible for starting the first blood donor service at Kings College Hospital in 1922. Thereafter, with the help of Geoffrey Keynes, a surgeon and brother of the famous economist, he established a London wide blood donor panel which was in existence at St Bartholomew’s |Hospital until 1987.
