The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) has written to hospitals across Scotland to issue an ‘Amber Alert.’
This is due to a national blood shortage. There is specific pressure on group O blood stock levels and a national shortage of blood donors.
All donors, but particularly O negative and O positive donors, are asked to urgently book and fill appointments across Scotland in the coming days, weeks and months.
Appointments are available for booking until the New Year and can be booked on https://www.scotblood.co.uk or by calling 0345 90 90 999.
