Good question... I've already tried most of the standard replies above.  I'm going with John's advice - as I know he's got A* credentials & experience:

'enzyme detergent used cold and left to dwell before rinsing.
Peroxide to remove any remaining staining.
Rust remover is to remove dark staining caused by Iron in the blood.'

John Kelly: I owe you a big kiss when I see you.
Excellent results using your procedure - thank you very much.

Here's a before and after photo (colour balance between images is poor - sorry). 
The water marking is because it's still wet, and should go when it's dry.

That's fab, Dave. Well done you.

Ditto.

Which enzyme product did you use David?

did you not force dry it before leaving?

[david@zap-clean]

Which enzyme product did you use David?

I've just switched to Chemspec products - I will be using them for 6 months for a full evaluation.
Enz-All

[Carpet Dawg]

Enzall would be my choice for that (or your enzyme of choice but everyone knows enzall is the daddy). Mix it with hot 60 degree water to release the enzyme action and dissolve the product, then cool it down before applying it to the stain, then rinse.

Again, make sure you dry thoroughly before packing up.

Well David son, you might want to pucker up your lips  . Looks like I have A star credentials & experience too

And me 

Hi David

I had a massive blood stain about 4 weeks ago, ok it was on carpet and not UPH, but even so it was a right mess - and she tried vanish etc on some of it.

I used cold SPM with some decent amount of enzymes and left to dwell. I then used (and please dont laugh) a george wet vac. It didn't initially move much (and I thought oh great it's not going anywhere!) but then gradually it started to lift. With patience it eventually all came out. It took me an hour but it was one of those jobs where I really couldn't be bothered to get the TM out!

So perseverance is sometimes needed. BTW I have used a mix of rust remover and water before to lift a blood stain out - sorry Paul lol

I went to a blood spill today on a cream wool Berber  , the owner had attempted removal but it had returned . i thought oh my god this will be hard .

Armed with the knowledge of this weeks post i armed myself with enzymes,rust remover, ammonia, peroxide etc.

As always suggested, first thing i did Cold water extract and rinsed out all the sh it he had put in  ,and guess what it all disappeared , I then dried it with a hair dryer and it looked like new .

[Carpet Dawg]

Sometimes Neil but in David's case a rinse was not enough.

Glad you dried it before leaving though.
