Blood donation requires a partnership for its organization between Etablissement français du sang and associations. A partnership guide, conceived by and for the operations team in the first rank of which Associations for Altruistic Blood Donation, was worked out to remind or inform conditions necessary for the good sequence of a blood donation. Through this guide, the authors also wanted to clarify the role and the responsibilities of each partner for a better reception of the Candidate for donation. The elaboration of this guide is only a first stage towards an homogenization or even an overhaul of the organization of blood donation.
