| Comment | At the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service, we take great care to minimise any risk of harm to donors or patients. This is why we place a number of restrictions on who can donate at any given time – and why these constraints can and do change over time.
Current situation
Giving blood is classed as an essential activity.
However, we ask you to please come alone. Non-donating relatives, companions or children are breaching non-essential travel restrictions.
If you have an appointment, please try to come no earlier than five minutes beforehand. This helps reduce queues.
Please do not come to give blood if you are aged 70 or over.
We are open, but our sessions are subject to change.
We will get in touch if there are changes to your session, but please check scotblood.co.uk before coming to donate. |
