NHS Cord Blood Bank

Having worked for the Cord Blood Bank since November 2000, I can honestly say that this is the most rewarding job I have ever had.

Cord blood is a waste product that has an amazing life saving ability. The potential to help others whilst bringing a new life into the world makes the occasion truly special.
We have an excellent team of delivery suite staff at our hospitals who help and support us by promoting the work of the NHS Cord Blood Bank.

I am a donor recruitment manager and spend my time in the hospital meeting mothers who have already or would like to donate their cord blood. To be involved with such amazing people who have decided that they want to create one life and save another really gives me such job satisfaction.

Cord blood donation is something that I totally believe in, so much so, that I have already registered my interest to donate my cord blood when I have my first baby later this year.
