🔈 BLOODSTOCKS UPDATE 🔈
The start of 2026 has been a challenging month for blood stock levels. We are grateful to all donors who have come forward, but supplies have not yet made a full recovery. We need all donors to come forward at this time and in the coming days and weeks.
We aim to have 5-7 days supply of all 8 blood groups at all times. Currently, we can see that O Negative and A Positive are predicted to drop to under 3 days by next week. O Positive is predicted to drop to below 4 days.
We can see demand for these blood groups is currently high, and NHS Scotland is busy.
We have appointments available in all 5 donor centres, and communities across Scotland – we’d really like to welcome more donors to Hawick this weekend, and Cumbernauld on Tuesday.
We would love to welcome new donors.
Please do book your appointment now at www.scotblood.co.uk or by calling us on 0345 90 90 999 (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm)
