Welcome from our Strategic Advisor

Welcome

For those of you who are not aware of the Network, this is an all-organ initiative between clinical, patient, lay and scientific representatives.

Our aim is to support research in organ donation and transplantation to encourage and develop strong collaborations for patient benefit.

We have an Executive Team and Board, with representation nationally and across organs, and a Network representative in each transplanting centre.

The Network has the potential to make a real difference to how we deliver research in organ donation and transplantation within the UK.

A strength of the Network is our collaboration with the British Transplantation Society, NHS Blood and Transplant and charities such as Kidney Research UK which have been hugely supportive.

We are continually looking to build links with other charities, so together we can help make a difference.

Central to our work is the valuable partnership with patients, donor families and lay representatives.

Co-Director, Karen Rockell, is continuing to work hard to ensure that this patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) partnership is inclusive and representative, and that their voices are heard.
