Information for Patients

JPAC produces guidelines and scientific advice which are primarily aimed at healthcare professionals in the Blood Transfusion and Tissue Transplantation Services in the UK. While we welcome all visitors to the site, its content does not intend to provide assistance directly to patients, donors or other members of the public.


If you are visiting this site as a donor, recipient, family member or carer, there are resources available from organisations other than JPAC that may be better suited to your needs. These can be found at:

Please note that JPAC is unable to provide any personal advice on specific medical issues and is not in a position to respond to individual eligibility queries from donors. Users seeking medical advice are encouraged to consult their medical practitioner. If you wish to obtain information or advice on donating blood, tissues or cells, please contact the Help Line for the Blood Service in your country.
