Book an appointment to give blood
Giving blood by appointment helps us help patients better. When you book an appointment we know we can rely on your blood type on that date, making it easier for us to regulate blood stocks. That way, we know there will always be enough for patients needs.
There are a number of ways you can make an appointment to give blood.
- You can call us on 0345 90 90 999, Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
- You can book online, using the online donor account.
