Frontline emergency staff are going the extra mile to save lives this winter, rolling up their sleeves to donate blood and plasma as part of the 2024 Emergency Services Blood Drive.
Minister for Health Ryan Park and Minister for Police Yasmin Catley will today join NSW Ambulance, NSW Police and Fire and Rescue NSW staff at the Lifeblood Sydney Town Hall Donor Centre to donate blood and encourage the community to join them in saving lives this winter, when donations are needed most.
The Lifeblood Emergency Services Blood Drive has been sparking friendly competition between emergency service teams since 2012, with almost 115,000 donations collected since it began.
This year's challenge has so far seen 2,606 donations of blood and plasma from NSW emergency service teams to provide life-saving treatment to people around the country, helping save up to 7,818 lives.
The Emergency Services Blood Drive runs until 31 August and anyone can take part by picking an emergency services team to join when you make your booking.
