Stem cell donor

Here’s a roadmap of what to expect post-donation.

Your story could inspire others to join the stem cell register, why not share your experience?

If you're going to receive stem cells donated from someone else – a relative, unrelated donor or cord blood – then doctors need to find a donor whose tissue type matches yours. This page explains how we help to find you a match.

We need stem cell transplant recipients and families to get involved with our work.

If someone in your family needs a stem cell transplant, you might be able to donate your own stem cells to them. Your relative's medical team may have already asked if you want to donate, or you might be just doing some research.

Clinical trials are an essential part of improving our understanding of stem cell transplants and making them more successful.

You will have a few medical appointments before your stem cell transplant. On this page, we'll explain what they can involve.

Once you’ve made the decision to have a stem cell transplant, you can begin the process of getting ready for treatment.
