New dates will SOON be added to our 2006 list of registration clinics. So please keep checking.
If the above dates or venues are not convenient to you then contact the National Blood Service, which has 2nd largest register in the UK of potential bone marrow donors, but you have to be aged 18-44.
Please call them on 0845 7 711 711. Tell them you want to become a blood and bone marrow donor, they will ask what area you live or work in and can direct you to the closest donation session taking place possibly that same day. They will also post out to you information on blood registration drives in your area.
If you are willing and able to donate a unit of blood as well as joining the bone marrow register please give them a call. It is imperative that you must inform the NBS staff at the registration clinic that you want to also register as a potential Bone Marrow donor. (Do not presume that the NBS staff will automatically test you for Bone Marrow purposes)
You will then be asked to read and sign the necessary Bone Marrow form in addition to the standard Blood Transfusion form. When you are donating a unit of blood for transfusion purposes, a small amount will also be taken and put aside for Bone Marrow testing.
Thank You.
