Treatment with convalescent serum

Is NHS Scotland trialling treatment with convalescent plasma? This was suggested right st the start of the pandemic, has been used anecdotally and with promising results and is being actively studied in US. I have seen no Scottish mention of this.

Why the contribution is important

Better treatment to reduce mortality and morbidity is urgently needed.

    I agree on use of plasma/serum. I posted that wider use of antibody testing would gather data to form the basis of a group of people who could be asked to donate blood for this purpose
