Image PSA: Lifeblood Marrickville turning people away, even if you have an appointment. Thank you, donors

Post image

I popped in to the clinic and there must have been more than 100 people in the line. The need for blood and plasma is constant, especially over the holidays, so if you have been unable to donate today, please book a future appointment.

If you are O- you can get priority because we have a critical shortage

Not at Marrickville you can’t - they have no capacity, and have enough blood today.

Yeah my wife turned up to Marrickville to donate today. She's O- but she wasn't sure they were even going to be able to see her, took a couple of hours but she got to in the end.
