At the request of the State Blood transfusion Council, we have conducted training programmes for blood bank staff attached to the J.J. Metropolitan Blood Centre. This included classroom sessions as well as field training.

The training programmes have covered the aspects of :

• convincing organizers to conduct drives.
• conducting motivation sessions for potential donors.
• interacting with donors during the Drive.
• handling logistics of the drive.
• thanking donors and organizers.
• organizing felicitation programmes.

Similar sessions have been organized by Think Foundation for staff of other Blood Banks as well.
