- This booklet was produced by the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) as an information guide for regular blood donors. It provides practical information about the process of blood donation and the responsibilities of becoming a regular donor. It explains how often individuals should donate, how much blood is taken, where and when sessions take place, and what happens during the donation. The booklet therefore demonstrates the increasing organisation and standardisation of blood donation and presents it as a routine part of community aid rather than an exceptional act. The attached address for the blood donor centre in Leeds further connects the national organisation to the local experience of donating blood.
