Inside a blood transfusion laboratory – Sarah Dimmock

Sarah Dimmock is the Hospital Scientist in charge of NSW Health Pathology’s Blood Transfusion laboratory at Newcastle’s John Hunter Hospital. It’s a daunting job, managing blood supplies not only for the state’s busiest trauma hospital, but also for the smaller regional hospitals across the Hunter New England. Sarah talks about what led her to a career in a laboratory, why she developed a love of travel early on, and how being a proud Kamilaroi woman continues to shape her life.
