Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? Our support team is here to guide you through each step of your treatment journey with personal care and attention.
Can I find out whether I have a matched donor before I travel to London?

Yes. Donor search and matching through UK and international blood registries can begin before you travel. 

The London Clinic's stem cell team works directly with Anthony Nolan, DKMS, and the British Bone Marrow Registry to identify compatible unrelated donors for allogeneic transplants. 

Family donor compatibility can also be assessed remotely based on the blood typing information you provide before your consultation.

Submitting your medical reports and diagnosis to the international patient team before travel allows the preliminary donor search and eligibility assessment to begin, so that your transplant timeline is clear before you arrive.

How do I contact the international patient support team for stem cell transplant at The London Clinic?

Stem cell transplant consultations, eligibility assessments, and treatment coordination at The London Clinic in London, UK are managed through the My 1Health International Patient Care team, available 24/7 before, during, and after travel.

Contact details:

The team arranges haematology consultations, medical report review before travel, written cost estimates, donor matching guidance, treatment itineraries, airport transfers, and remote follow-up with your haematologist after you return home.

How long will I need to stay in London for a stem cell transplant?

The length of stay depends on your transplant type, your diagnosis, and how quickly your blood counts recover after the procedure.

As a guide by transplant type:

  • Autologous transplant: 2 to 4 weeks inpatient monitoring post-infusion; remote follow-up available after discharge
  • Allogeneic transplant: 4 to 8 weeks inpatient stay typically required until engraftment is confirmed
  • Conditioning chemotherapy: 3 to 4 days before transplant, combined with your admission period
  • Bone marrow transplant: varies by complexity; your consultant confirms the timeline during pre-travel review

Your treatment itinerary is prepared before you leave home, with clear milestones for when it is safe to travel.

What happens if I have complications after returning home from my stem cell transplant?

Post-transplant follow-up is managed through your dedicated coordinator and your haematology consultant at The London Clinic.

Remote consultations by video are available after discharge, and your full treatment records, blood count results, and discharge summary are accessible through a secure digital portal.

If complications arise at home, including signs of graft-versus-host disease or infection, your coordinator acts as your direct point of contact and can arrange urgent liaison with The London Clinic's haematology team. Your treating consultant can also liaise with your local physician at home to coordinate any bridging care needed between remote consultations.

What is the difference between autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplant, and which one do I need?

Autologous transplant uses your own stem cells, collected and stored before high-dose chemotherapy, then returned to rebuild your bone marrow. 

It is used for myeloma, certain lymphomas, and conditions where donor cells are not required. 

Allogeneic transplant uses stem cells from a matched donor, either a relative or a volunteer, and is used for leukaemia, aplastic anaemia, and higher-risk blood cancers where your own cells cannot provide the same curative effect.

The choice between autologous and allogeneic transplant depends on your diagnosis, disease stage, general health, and donor availability. 

Your haematologist at The London Clinic confirms the most appropriate approach after reviewing your medical history and test results, either before you travel or at your first in-person consultation.

What makes The London Clinic's stem cell programme different from other private hospitals in the UK?

The London Clinic is Europe's largest single-site accredited stem cell collection centre for peripheral blood and bone marrow volunteer donors, collecting over 700 donations annually. 

It was the UK's first independent non-profit hospital to hold both JACIE and EBMT accreditation for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, designations that are independently assessed and require ongoing compliance to maintain.

The programme has been running since 1985, its 12 transplant beds are equipped with HEPA filtration and positive pressure ventilation specifically for immunocompromised patients, and donor matching operates through Anthony Nolan, DKMS, and the British Bone Marrow Registry.
