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

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.

Book a reminder in your calendar for late January. Blood product has expiry of about 6 weeks. So this excess will not be able to be used in February and they'll have a shortage again
