The donors are tissue typed and they are then available to be searched by accredited Transplant Centres or laboratories acting on their behalf for patients with leukaemia and other blood disorders. After further identification testing a donor may be selected as the final donor. The BBMR collects HSC products from donors between the ages of 18 and 60. The finally selected donor is counselled and informed consent for the donation obtained. Donor counselling is currently performed by the BBMR in accordance with Human Tissue Authority (HTA) and World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) requirements.
