Stage 1 : Completing the paperwork

Clinic counsellingAttending a Clinic

We hold donor recruitment clinics all around the UK and there may be a clinic scheduled to take place near you during the next four weeks. If you would prefer to attend one of these, please call our Donor Recruitment Department on 020 7284 1234 to ask for details of clinics in your area.

If you attend a clinic, we will give you time to read over documentation and complete a medical history questionnaire to ensure that you meet our medical criteria, you understand the importance of the commitment you are making, as well as what will happen if you are identified as a potential match.

You will then give your saliva sample. Then, if you're lucky, you'll be offered tea and a biscuit - but we can't guarantee this part!

If there is no clinic scheduled for the time being in your area, or you don’t want to attend a clinic, you can apply by post to join. Click here to request your saliva pack.

Some medical conditions prevent people from becoming potential donors but, in the majority of cases, would-be volunteers are able to move on to the second stage of registering.
