	Welsh Histocompatiblity and Immunogenetics Service - a predominantly local service in support of renal and bone marrow transplant programmes; HLA and other phenotyping; and a platelet immunogenetics service.
	Welsh Bone Marrow Donor Registry - an independent registry managing the HLA testing and provision of stem cell donations from unrelated donors for transplantation to patients in the UK and overseas.
	UK National External Quality Assessment Schemes for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics - for the assessment of H & I laboratories performance by providing material, results analysis, perfomance criteria and, if required, professional support for laboratories in the UK and overseas.
The laboratory is ISO 9001 registered and accredited by Clinical Pathology Accreditation [UK] Limited and the European Federation for Immunogenetics (EFI).
