Manage blood, plasma or platelet appointments

If you are a blood donor or a plasma donor, you can book and manage appointments on the app.

Existing platelet donors can now book and manage appointments online on our website. This is a new feature which is only available to existing platelet donors.

We are also working hard to make the app available for our platelet donors to book and manage appointments. We plan to make this available in an upcoming version of the mobile app.

How to get the app

Once you have set up your online account, you can download the app and log in to get started.

To download, you can search ‘NHS Give Blood’ on the Apple App Store or Google Play.
