Have this ready before you call
- The patient's blood group (e.g. B+, O−)
- How many bags, and whether whole blood or platelets/plasma
- Which hospital, ward or bed the patient is in
- When it is needed — the time of the operation
- A contact person's name and phone number
Precautions when receiving blood
- The blood must be screened for hepatitis B, C, HIV, syphilis and malaria
- Blood must be cross-matched with the patient before it is given
- Be wary of strangers offering blood for money — voluntary donation is safest
- Check the group and expiry date on the blood bag label
You can donate too
Healthy people aged 18–60 who weigh more than 45 kg can usually donate every 4 months. One bag of blood can save more than one life. You can register as a donor with any of the groups above.
If you can't find blood, or the patient needs hospital admission or an ambulance, call our Booking Line. The full list is on our blood bank page.
