| The Wales Cancer Bank is currently collecting from seven hospitals across Wales. The project was originally piloted in four centres before expansion to other hospitals in Wales. We hope to eventually collect from all over Wales. Each site is collecting a variety of tumour types and to ensure uniformity standard operating procedures are in place which detail exactly how the samples are collected, processed and stored.
Each storage site is licensed as a satellite site under the Wales Cancer Bank licence (licence number 12107), issued by the Human Tissue Authority. The lead at each site is named as a person designated on the HTA licence, unless otherwise stated.
