Blood Collector

A Blood Collector collects blood samples for testing, transfusions, or donation. You might work in hospitals, labs, clinics, or donation centres. You’ll follow safety protocols, label samples, and reassure patients during the procedure.

Blood Collectors support vital health services. You’ll need to be calm, precise, and good with people. You’ll keep accurate records and work with healthcare teams to ensure proper sample handling.
