What makes us different?

There are four key reasons why it's worthwhile to consider Virgin Health Bank.

We're fundamentally different

Virgin Health Bank's idea of dual - private and public - umbilical cord blood stem cell banking is, well, uniquely Virgin. We think more cord blood units for treatments should be available to anyone who needs them - so that's why we have both a private bank, where your baby's cord blood stem cells are kept just for your family's use, and a public bank that can be accessed by everyone - and that obviously includes you, too.

We help to realise the potential of cord blood stem cells

The long-term goal of stem cell medicine is amazing - regenerative medicine. To help us get there, Richard Branson has made a personal commitment that all future proceeds from us to the Virgin Group will be donated to initiatives that are helping to fully realise the potential of cord blood stem cells.

Our service makes a difference

We really believe in offering parents-to-be what they need. We'll help provide you with impartial information, so you can make your own informed decision on whether to store your baby's cord blood stem cells. Like all Virgin companies we pride ourselves on going that extra mile - and we’ll support you on this journey. We know it's a big decision, and our team of customer support advisors are here to help answer your questions.

Our standards are gold standards

As you'd expect, we comply with the UK and EU regulatory standards. We work with a team of independent scientific, medical, ethical and legal experts. And we use one of the most experienced laboratory and storage facilities in the UK, and the same courier company trusted by the National Blood Service.
