Our machines processing thousands of swab kits each day in the DKMS lab to find more potentially lifesaving donors: 🎵🎧💃🕺🎶

Have you ever heard that stem cell donation is a super painful process? Or that your bone marrow is collected from your spine? 🤦

We certainly have! That's why we are here to debunk some myths...

🤝 Share this post to help us bust the myths around stem cell donation!

A common question we get is: 'Do I need to register with DKMS if I'm already registered elsewhere?'

The answer: No! 🙅‍♂️ All registrations are pooled onto the aligned UK #stemcell registry.

Boosting the registry numbers is what matters most, as stem cell donor, Stuart, explains.

Are you a UK nurse working in or wishing to study oncology and haematology?
