Blood-donation service inundated with offers of help after warning about NHS blood stocks in England

More than 10,000 appointments to donate blood over the next few weeks have been booked in the past 24 hours., but should be prepared for online queues, NHS Blood and Transplant says.The NHS usually has six days' worth of blood to use for operations and transfusions but levels are currently due to fall below two.Type-O blood is in particular demand. O positive is the most common and anyone can receive O negative in an emergency or if their blood type is unknown.

"While the amber alert isn't a widespread donor appeal, we want to say a huge thank you to existing donors and those who came forward in their thousands yesterday to register for the first time. "We know this can be frustrating for donors who want book an appointment right now to help," NHSBT said.
