You’ll need to consider that donating may require time off to travel, donate, and attend medicals, as well as any recovery time. It is important that your employer, or place of study are aware that things may change last minute and you may require additional time off.

We can provide a letter for your employer or place of study as confirmation of what we are asking you to do.

You may also have exams, work projects, or important deadlines coming up. Please take these into consideration when discussing your donation. Your coordinator will work with you and the patients centre, or client if you are donating for research, to get a schedule that works around your commitments where possible.

You can find out more about this from your coordinator.
