I guess the fact they have put routine ops on hold will mean less blood will be needed. But there will still be emergency ops so I am guessing they will try and find a way some of you can give blood.

Not me. blood transfusions in 1980 and 1982 so I cannot give. But thanks to those you gave at that time you really did save my life folks in 1980 and I am not exaggerating.

They definitely still need lots despite cancelling routine surgery.
Still the same quantity of emergencies and on-going conditions.

Travelling to a session is categorised as essential travel. I'm due in a couple of weeks

With DNA and a uterus, you can clone anything

I went for nr. 100 a few days ago.
Unfortunately my iron level was too low.
I am now feeling a fraud as they have still counted it.
