Booked morning of appointment over the telephone. Easy to book being a doner. There are only 3 carparks out the front of the center. There is more parking at the back accessible through the driveway before the blood center. The KitKat chocolate treat it now replaced with fruit burst lollies. They provide hot beverages, coffee, tea, and chocolate. Chocolate bikkies, cheese, and crackers. You can donate blood and plasa here. The staff are very friendly. Free wifi at the center play on your phone or watch TV it is usually in channel 1. There are 2 toilets. The light switch for both toilets is outside to the right of the door before entry.
I've done over 30 blood donations and recently began donating plasma. It was so easy, but just took a bit longer than blood. I was told that by giving blood you can help up to 3 people, but by giving plasma you can help up to 11. So if we can do it, let's do it. It just takes a little of your time. Don't tell anyone, but I see it as really some time out for me to sit and read a book with a cup of tea and some nibbles. I just happen to have an almost unnoticeable needle in my arm, and a squeezy thing in my hand.nAfter my elderly mum needed a blood transfusion recently I was thankful that blood was available for her. I am very happy to be able to give back to the system for others in need.
I always have a great experience at NZ blood donation center.nnIt is better for you to make a booking before coming to the center.
the place has free paring for donors so thT easy to plan for donation even it locates busy Takapuna central.All staffs are kind and well equipped for full blood donations or plasma donations
As a first timer I was a little nervous but the friendly service and vetting was great and was under no pressure to give blood if I wasnt comfortable. After being in the waiting room for 10mins or so and consuming juice boxes, cookies and crackers, eventually my time had come. I gave the required blood and just as I finished I felt dizzy and communicated this to the nurse. Luckily for me the staff were very attentive and took action with laying me down and filling me juice and kit kat and cooled me down a fan. After an additional 10mins I was feeling normal again. The lesson here was to take on a proper meal before going to give blood. The staff were a pleasure to deal with and I will be back to give blood and the treats that come along with it. Recommend.
