NHS What's Your Blood Type
Come along and find out your blood type. This is done by NHS staff taking a small sample of blood from the finger and measuring the reaction on specialised cards. The whole process should only take 5 minutes. You’ll also be one step closer to becoming a blood donor by signing up to the NHS blood donation register. Drinks and snacks served throughout.
