What a waste of my time

NHS Nurses It s Very Sad

My Appointment was 13 55 28 10 23 at Baginton United Reformed Church CV3 6FP Arrived at church but saw it closed waited and walked to side tried another door which was also closed was about to leave then saw a Blood Donation lorry right at the Far End On entering explained to 6-7 nurses around a table enjoying tea that they need to put a sign on church door to inform people They looked at me liked I was from Planet Mars after explaining one nurse said ill go and put a note on the church door Immediately I arrived was at the front of queue subsequently 3 people had arrived and the receptionist then told me to get to the back I left immediately and wil not be attempting to donate again Wonderful NHS

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
