## Description
The Welsh Bone Marrow Donor Registry has an intermittent requirement to transport clinical material to Transplant Centres of WBMDR (currently UHW), form various locations throughout the world.  Such transportation must comply with UK law (Human Tissue Act 2004) and WMDA guidelines.
Due to the nature of the product and the critical importance of timely delivery to the destination, transportation must be via a suitably trained courier, who will accompany the product from the time of collection at the collection centre until handover to a transplant centre representative within University Hospital of Wales (Cardiff).
Anticipated activity is approximately 50 deliveries a year, although this is changeable due to potential growth of the registry/transplant centre.
