New online experience

We reveal the changes you’ll be seeing on the blood.co.uk website from June this year.

From June, when you log in to book your next appointment you’ll see we’ve upgraded your digital experience.

The great new look and feel will now be the same as our NHS Give Blood app and it brings with it several improvements to make searching and booking appointments much easier. Behind the scenes we’ve made it more accessible for all donors whilst improving the overall performance.

We’re continuing to improve our digital services to make saving lives even easier and there are more improvements to come later this year.

New online experience

If you want to share any feedback on our improvements lets us know by completing our online form.
