This includes supplementary heating, lighting, and cooling equipment. NHSBT is responsible for collecting sufficient blood products to meet the demand of all hospitals. NHSBT’s vision is to save and improve lives by continually striving to improve the safety, availability, quality, and efficiency of our services. To meet these demands, NHSBT operates approximately 50 mobile collection teams, who collect blood products every day of the week. For this, NHSBT hire local community venues across England ranging from small village halls to sports centre halls. The venue set up, and processes, used are required by law to comply with Blood, Safety and Quality Regulations to ensure the safety of donors and patients. The venue, and all equipment (including hired equipment) used within it, may therefore be subject to external regulatory inspection at any time. NHSBT collection sessions, typically operate from 8:00 until 18.00, or from 10.30 until 20.30. Other community groups may have access to the collection venues either before, during, or after these session times. Not all venues used for collection can provide all three considerations of heating, lighting and/or cooling equipment to the required standard, and additional heating, lighting and cooling equipment has to be hired. Delivery and collection of this equipment may be required on an urgent basis or out of hours.
