From registration to post-donation refreshments it takes approximately an hour to donate a unit of whole blood. Times can vary for other blood donations but the process remains the same:

• Registration: sign-in, and provide us with your name, date of birth, address, and additional demographic information
  
• Medical Screening: answer confidential medical history questions and have a mini-physical, including blood pressure, temperature, and pulse
  
• Blood Donation: donate a unit of whole blood in approximately 10-15 minutes (no more than 20 minutes). Other donation types may take longer
  
• Post Donation Refreshments: remain 15 minutes in our canteen, eating a snack and drinking plenty of decaffeinated fluids
