It’s an easy process, and only happens after the birth and afterbirth are over and you’ve done all the hard work.

Our specially trained staff will take your baby's cord and placenta away to another room to extract the blood. You’ll barely even know they’re there. It’s totally risk- and hassle-free for mother and baby.

Anthony Nolan employs teams of dedicated collectors so that we don’t place any demands on your midwife or consultant.
