Something for those who have never donated before; how easy it is to do; phone number to talk to someone & book it; how bad blood stock might currently be & how much is needed; how much is used in a transfusion, etc & how often you are allowed to donate, or just how superb the nursing staff all are. And there’s free tea/coffee & biscuits to say thank you, well there was last time I went.

I was once told that up to 39 pints of blood plasma per hour may be used for a serious burns victim – no idea if that’s correct, but it’s a lot of donations.
oh, & please don't be annoyed with them if you turn up & find you've been ill too recently to donate this time, it's not their fault!
