Team Margot 
29.05.2015

 Team Margot offered to create awareness about stem cell donation and being a stem cell donor. The registration process and joining requirements differ for each country and Team Margot is working with many organisations around the world to try and make the registration process as simple as possible for those wishing to register. Thank you to all the registries who responded to our letter. Team Margot has set upthis page as a result.

WMDA has developed a new programme: 'Search Coordinator Certificate Programme'
26.05.2015

Professionals involved in unrelated adult donor/cord blood unit search and selection are essential in the process to find the best donor for a patient. To standardise the level of expertise of staff performing searches and providing recommendations on graft selection, the WMDA has developed a global education programme: 'Search Coordinator Certificate Programme'. This is a 9 months academic year programme in English, consisting of academic E-learning lectures on scientific and practical topics relevant to search coordinators, followed by an exam and formal WMDA certificate. For more information and registration, take a look at the leaflet and in the 'Terms and Conditions'.
