Patient aftercare is nonexistent
Once they ve taken your blood they won t care about you afterwards I just gave blood - and was told that my donation wasn t accepted No further information but to call the generic number The people on the phone are of no help and was told that someone from the medical team will get in touch 3 weeks have gone still no contact they ve also suspended my account I rang up again and still no help and was simply told they ll push the query again This whole experience has just given me a lot of unnecessary anxiety and frankly it s not worth donating in the future anymore

What a waste of my time
What a waste of my time Got there with time to spare after rushing from work spend 30 minutes waiting for them to have a tea break to have to answer health questions since being a child can t think on the spot only to be rejected because i hadn t drunk enough water although I d had plenty of fluids throughout the day I definitely won t be going through the process I ll keep my blood thanks

Used to be a simple walk in system
Used to be a simple walk in system now you have to book 3 months in advance in addition when I did donate no parking was available at derriford hospital so I paid and after an hour or so they still hadn t validated my parking Also I got very sick directly after donating and I did think the place was a little dirty Don t think I ll do it anymore after the last poor effort on their part

This is my 3rd appointment being
This is my 3rd appointment being cancelled because of unforseen circumstances in Twickenham What a waste of time and disrespect towards donors And yet I am keep on getting messages asking me to donate blood I have got 30 credits and think that s the end of my journey with donating blood- feel ignored and disrespected by the NHS

Extremely bad experience twice for incompetence
Extremely bad experience twice for booking an appointment at Norfolk house Manchester My blood donation could not proceed despite falling in the category of all right things only but the veins are said to be smaller and thin I was hydrated with more than 1 5ltrs water and have good body weight My structure is athletic and I play recreational The nurses here could not put a rubber band to pop the veins They only work like robots through the process and very much lacking skills I had to wait an hour for my two appointments and the nurses only know how to fill out forms rather than put effort to find veins
