The whole process takes about an hour. It starts with registration, a health history and a mini-physical. Then comes the actual donation, which usually takes less than 10-12 minutes. Afterward, you will be asked to spend a few minutes in the “canteen” where you can have a light refreshment before returning to your normal activities.

It usually takes about 45 minutes for screening, donating a unit, and a short rest period after you are finished. The actual donation itself takes about 15 minutes.

The actual donation takes about 5 minutes. The entire donation process, from registration to post-donation refreshments, takes about one hour.

Plan on spending 45-minutes to an hour for your donation appointment. See Donating Whole Blood for more information.
