Finally someone had the courage to admit the real reason why people donate blood. ;)

Apparently the phlebotomist was able to get the apheresis machine up to 88mph today.

After some system issues, this morning’s platelet donation is going well.

I love it when they enhance the platelet donation return fluids.

London donor centres are currently encouraging people to donate blood and plasma in the run-up to Christmas:

However, you may notice that Edgware isn't showing any appointments after 1 November. I couldn't find any information online, so I gave them a call.

They're not closing, but they are looking at changing their opening hours, so they can't yet confirm their appointment schedule. Appointments should appear in the next few weeks, though!

Donated an armful of the red stuff. O- neo. That's number 104.

i'm an organ donor (used to be almost expected for motorcyclists) and feel pretty ok about it but to be honest i know nothing about laws/guidelines/protocols that regulate the industry

i'd expect that if i had viable tissue it would be used in an emergency transfer situation that more or less correlated with the time of my death but the idea there's a company who harvests every bit of viable tissue that is preserved and sold at a later date (as my donor's apparently was) is kind of sickening, though that probably makes me naive in the extreme

Yesterday, the journey from Manchester back to my home in Wigan took over three hours. With trains out of action due to a power outage, I had to take three buses. To compound matters, the final one was delayed due to an accident.

I was unsettled by the late change in plans, uncertainty and crowded buses, but at least I managed to give blood before the chaos began. In stark contrast to the rail disruption, the process only took a few minutes. As always, the NHS Blood Donation team was friendly and efficient. Thank you 🔴

Sometimes things can get a tad funky as you approach the end of a platelet donation session.

No matter your blood type, if you gave, you gave something valuable.

Today is World Blood Donor Day. Donating blood is important to me and I'd like to highlight Blood Donation today. If any of my post on different social media today result in a new blood donor somewhere I'd be happy. Please boost.

Giornata Mondiale del Donatore di Sangue

Oggi, 14 giugno, torna la Giornata Mondiale del Donatore di Sangue, un appuntamento che ogni anno ricorda quanto un gesto semplice possa trasformarsi in un dono prezioso per migliaia di persone.

Se desiderate approfondire storia, origini e curiosità di questa ricorrenza, vi invitiamo a leggere anche il nostro articolo pubblicato lo scorso anno:

https://perfettamentechic.com/2025/06/14/giornata-mondiale-del-donatore-di-sangue/

L‘edizione 2026 porta con sé un nuovo messaggio lanciato dall’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità:

One Drop of Humanity. Give Blood. Save Lives.

(Una goccia di umanità. Dona sangue. Salva vite.)

Il tema mette al centro il valore umano della donazione, ricordando che dietro ogni sacca di sangue c’è un atto concreto di solidarietà e speranza.

Tra le novità più importanti di quest’anno c’è anche il ruolo dell’Italia come Paese ospitante dell’evento mondiale, con iniziative e celebrazioni internazionali previste a Roma per sensibilizzare cittadini e istituzioni sull’importanza delle donazioni periodiche. Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità (WHO)

La ricorrenza continua inoltre a richiamare l’attenzione sulla necessità di aumentare il numero dei donatori volontari, soprattutto tra i giovani. Secondo l’OMS, una partecipazione più ampia della popolazione è fondamentale per garantire scorte di sangue sicure e sufficienti per interventi chirurgici, emergenze, cure oncologiche e assistenza materna.

In questa giornata il ringraziamento va a tutti coloro che, con pochi minuti del loro tempo, regalano una possibilità in più a chi sta affrontando una battaglia per la vita. Perché, davvero, una sola goccia può fare la differenza.

Buona Giornata Mondiale del Donatore di Sangue!
Con affetto e un pizzico di zucchero nel caffè,
Perfettamente Chic ❤️🩸☕

Donated blood today. Feel good and as if I actually made a contribution in this world. ❤️🩸

A big day for me today.

It's my presentation ceremony this afternoon for my 100 blood donation credits. It's taken me 30+ years to reach this milestone, and on the day I took my first needle I saw it in the distance thinking "I'll never do 100!" and yet I now have an 8 bit "legend of Zelda" style tattoo just below my usual donation point to commemorate the event (which actually happened last May)

I suspect there will be photos.

Where Blood Becomes Belonging (My Story on Canadian Blood Services)

It’s in you to give.

Remember that. I used to think of blood donation as an item on a personal bucket list, something noble to do and then move on. I wanted to give blood the way others want to run a marathon or learn a new language. It felt symbolic to achieve that like a participation badge.

Then one day a family member needed a transfusion. At that moment, the idea stopped being abstract or altruistic. Blood was no longer a concept or a charitable gesture; it was survival moving through a tube. I told myself that if someone else could give for my family, I could give for someone else’s. In 2015, I did it for the first time.

Read the full story here

Weeks later, a letter arrived. A thank-you note from Canadian Blood Services. Inside, a donor card with my name printed neatly, like an invitation of sorts. I hadn’t expected that. As a millennial, I’ll admit I have a weakness for membership cards. They suggest belonging. Participation. Continuity.

Have u donated blood before? Woke up feeling tired today as a first time donor. Gonna make lentil soup and be gentle on myself. Gonna also donate in 3 months again and every 3 months for the rest of my life 🩸#simplepoll #CrissyPolls #blooddonor

1 of 3: Passed by the Japanese Cultural Centre today on my way to drop off hospice donations and saw a mobile blood drive.

I didn't plan to, but I decided to finally donate. Giving your time and your blood is more valuable than giving money. The world needs this kind of service right now.

I booked an appointment online just an hour before I showed up to check my eligibility. I am a 1st-time donor, and the process was quick and easy.

Before I gave blood, the nurse pricked my finger. My hemoglobin score was 147. She told me that was very good. If your score is 120 or lower, you cannot donate because your body does not have enough "Oxygen-Carrying Voltage" (anemia). I felt grateful that my body is strong enough to give.

🏛 Vicesima sanguinis donatio. Paulum tempus et paucam dolorem tantum id constat, nullum aliud, ergo quoque hoc faciatis. Aliquem hoc modo juvare potestis.

🇬🇧 20th blood donation. It only costs a bit of time, and a little pain, nothing else, so you should do it too. You can help someone this way.

🇨🇿 20. darování krve. Stojí to jen trochu času a malinko bolesti, nic víc, takže byste to taky měli udělat. Můžete tím někomu pomoct.

Carter Bloodcare is using #AI to call and confirm appointments. As a protest, I will not respond. I will be giving them negative feedback, and I hope regular donors do as well.

As a former #BloodDonor and current cancer patient (www.ajstein.de/cholangio.htm) – who has also relied on #transfusions when blood counts were too low after chemotherapy – I can only say: #DonateBlood, for free: www.drk-blutspende.de/blutspendete... or for money! #cancer

There's nothing like a lovely wood fire in a cottage.

A very rare treat.

Note the t-shirt #valheim fans?

The tattoo? Why I got it when I did my 100th blood donation as a reminder that I've achieved something more amazing than anything else I have or will ever do in my life.

I'm O- (the universal donor) and my blood is CMV- which essentially means it usually ends up in neo natal units.

On Mad Friday, I only managed one pint! 🩸

Despite being short-staffed, the NHS Blood Donation team was friendly and professional. As always, it was a positive experience 🅰️➕️

At work we started talking about whether other animals have different blood groups and where vets get blood supplies for operations.
Turns out that pets can donate blood. The page linked includes a picture of a pangolin (not sure if giving or receiving).
Also, yes they do have different blood groups.

Periodic reminder: if you can, consider becoming a regular blood donor. There are fewer of us now than ever, while the need for blood and platelets keeps growing. Take an hour every two months, save lives.

Here's my periodic reminder: if you medically *can*, please consider becoming a regular blood donor. There are *a lot* fewer of us after five years of COVID, but we are still essential to those who need blood, for whatever the reason.

I was considering become a #blood donor. This is what Canadian Blood Services wanted me to agree to "Reliance on any information provided by Canadian Blood Services appearing on or provided in relation to this Site is solely at your own risk." So, I can't trust that safeguards promised for me as a donor on their site will be honoured. I decided not to donate blood.
