COVID-19 measures taken by IBTS to protect donors and staff:

Appointments for clinics

• All clinics are now appointment based – to book an appointment call 1850 731 137. Donors must arrive on time as this regulates social distancing on clinic.

• Some donors will be asked to travel to a centralised venue in their wider local area.

Some additional donation restrictions

• Donors aged 70 and over cannot donate for now.

•If you have/had any symptoms of Covid-19, you must be fully recovered for 28 days before you can donate.

•You must wait 14 days from the last time you were in contact with a person with confirmed or suspected Covid-19 infection, or if you have travelled outside the island of Ireland.

• Health Care workers can donate so long as they have had no known contact with Covid-19 cases in the last 14 days.

• First Time Donors are welcome in limited numbers and must also make an appointment.

Clinic safety

• Hand gel is provided and all donors must use it.

• Social distancing is in place on clinic.

• All relevant surfaces in our clinics are cleaned frequently with approved disinfectant.

• Only donors will be able to access the donation area.

• Face masks are mandatory – Donors must wear a face mask on clinic with the exception of pre and post donation hydration. Ideally donors should bring replacement masks with them if using non-reusable masks, as they will have to remove these prior to partaking of refreshments. IBTS staff can dispose of donors’ non-reusable masks in clinical waste. Hand sanitisers are available in clinic to use before and after mask removal/replacement. 

• IBTS staff will be wearing appropriate PPE throughout the process.

    Our platelet donation clinics are in Dublin and Cork. Platelets are used in the treatment of cancer and leukemic patients, bone marrow transplant, new born babies and burns victims. The Irish Blood Transfusion Service provides life-saving platelets to all of the hospitals in Ireland. Due to the rising number of cancer diagnosis in the country, there is always a need for platelet donors. There are just 2,400 Irish platelet donors and we are looking for new donors to join the panel.
