The NHS Cord Blood Bank

The NHS Cord Blood Bank was set up in 1996 to collect, process, store and supply cord blood. Our work is for the sole purpose of providing a life saving product from something that is normally thrown away. We are a public cord blood bank, are part of the NHS and it is free for you to donate your cord blood to us.

By donating your cord blood to us after the birth of your baby, you are making a voluntary donation that could help any patient who is in need of an unrelated cord blood transplant, in the UK or anywhere in the world. Cord blood is only collected in hospitals where we have dedicated, trained staff. Currently these are Barnet General Hospital, Northwick Park Hospital, Luton and Dunstable Hospital and Watford General Hospital.

For more information, please visit the Cord Blood Bank website www.nhscordblood.co.uk

I had ds1 at the L&D, and signed up for the cord blood donation. But because I gave birth at the wrong time of day (7am) there wasn't anyone around to collect or process it.

I hope it can be used this time round.
