Charity Transport Organisations
In Scotland, blood is transported by our Donor and Transport Services team.
SNBTS operates a full fleet of MHRA validated refrigerated vehicles with a team of fully trained staff who support the patient needs of Scotland on a 24/7 basis. Their workload comprises picking blood up from session and returning it to JCC for processing and testing. They also undertake daily planned deliveries to hospital blood banks across Scotland. In times of need, SNBTS is the only authorised blue light service for emergency blood delivery.
The SNBTS team undertake approximately 850,000 miles every year, covering all of Scotland.
SNBTS does not partner with other charity transport organisations.
We'd like to thank all our amazing drivers, who make blood transfusion possible.
We Donate
The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) are not affiliated with the We Donate app. SNBTS have their own donor awards system, and encourage donors to give their donation voluntarily and unpaid, in line with World Health Organisation guidelines which state 'An adequate and reliable supply of safe blood can be assured by a stable base of regular, voluntary, unpaid blood donors. These donors are also the safest group of donors as the prevalence of bloodborne infections is lowest among this group.'
Any individual who wishes to participate in the We Donate app and rewards system, can do so independently.
SNBTS will not transfer any donor data to We Donate, and shall ask for no data to be returned to us by We Donate. You can read SNBTS Data Protection notice
