Note:

If you are asked to deliver a sample to JR, for onward transport to NHSBT Filton/Bristol, from say MKG, the Controller will tell you to deliver by a certain time to the JR Issue Desk (where you would normally collect Blood/Platelets). This sample will be for the Overnight van (Bulk Movement Van (BMV)) to NHSBT Filton/Bristol. Being on time will save you a trip to GWH for an RV.

Change of access to JR Blood: recent works have included addition of a gate on the clockwise access to JR Blood (Issue Desk), so you now need to turn right at roundabout in front of West Wing and follow the road anti-clockwise. Also, please note dispensation to park on same side as Issue Desk (by Grundon Skip) has now expired. Please park on the opposite side only.
