If you would like to donate either as a one-off donation, or as an ongoing donor, you will need to be blood tested for:

• Hep B surface antigen
• Hep C antibody
• HIV antibody
• Syphilis antibody
• HTLV antibody

otherwise we will be unable to accept you as a donor.

Please print this letter and take it to your GP to request the blood test (pdf, 231 KB)

As this would be routine screening (as with blood donors) no declaration is necessary on insurance forms.
