It's been years since we organised the very first emergency wing training - but it still is as refreshing and as enchanting as it used to be. The send half of 2nd October was well spend with the emergency team decoding the intricacies of blood and emergency request handling. Each year the emergency team gets its own quota of new volunteers. Gradually these volunteers transition from people who do not know what to do when someone needs blood into people who can help with the most critical blood requests. It requires immense effort to learn, understand and ask.
