What's your blood type?


Find out your blood type at one of our events.

Most people find out their blood type when they first give blood.

But you can discover your likely blood type before you become a donor.

If are curious about your blood type, you can attend a What’s Your Blood Type event to register as a new donor and have a free blood type test.

How it works

Before the test, we’ll take your details and register you as a blood donor.

The test itself takes about 5 minutes and all we need is few drops of blood from your finger. There are no big needles, we promise.

After the test, you'll learn about the lifesaving power of blood and the amazing difference our blood donors make.

Your blood type will be confirmed when you donate blood in the future.

Watch the video to see what happens at a What's Your Blood Type event.
