Is a policy needed? When I donated milk, I just brought the tubes to where I worked and a nurse took the blood when she had a spare five minutes. Of course, if I wasn't a HCP things could have been more complicated - I could have arranged the blood test at my own GPs, but not sure whether I'd have had to pay for it or not (which would all be a rather different issue for me anyway within the NHS!)
Best wishes,
