Blood Donor Clinic
Wednesday March 10 2010
THE Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) would like to thank all 89 donors who attended the recently held clinic in St. Patrick's National School, Slane. A special thank you to our Local Voluntary Organiser, Jim Mooney, Slane Red Cross, and to Linda Dillon for their help and support prior to and during the holding of the clinic.
Also, thank you to Liz Sheridan, Principal for the use of the school facilities.
A breakdown of the total figures shows that 4 former donors and 6 new donors attended the clinic. This was an increase of 13 Donors on our last visit in September, 2009.
The IBTS would like to thank everyone who attended on the night.
About 70,000 patients are transfused with blood each year in Irish Hospitals. To do this we must collect approximately 3,000 donations of blood each and every week from voluntary donors like you.
Finally on behalf of all the patients in hospital who benefit from your generosity a heartfelt thank you to all who attended or helped our Slane clinic in any way
