If you are aged 31 or over you can join a different UK registry; you only need to join one register. The two other registers are NHS Blood and Transplant and DKMS

• NHS Blood and Transplant - If you're already a blood donor, or willing and eligible to give blood, you may be able to join the NHS stem cell register. Their email is customer.services@nhsbt.nhs.uk.

If you want to be removed from the Anthony Nolan register, you need to contact the Register Support team directly. You can email them at register.support@anthonynolan.org. Please clarify in your email what sort of removal you mean. Make sure to include your full name and date of birth in your email for identification purposes.

When signing up to join the Anthony Nolan stem cell register, you should use your current postal address. This is important because you will be sent a swab pack in the post.

Once you have done your swabs and joined the register, if you live at a university address that is temporary, you should update your address to your parents’ address, or one that is more permanent.

Thinking of becoming a lifesaver? Here are a few things you should know:

• To apply to join the stem cell register, you need to fill our online form to request a swab pack. This will be posted to you, you complete and post back.
• Joining the register is easy and free.
• You need to be aged 16–30 to join our stem cell register.
• You’ll stay on the register and you can still donate until you turn 61.
• Most people on our register will never come up as a match.

If you have moved abroad you can no longer be on the Anthony Nolan register. Please contact the register support team to be removed from the register: register.suport@anthonynolan.org
