Welcome from our Co-Directors

Dr Adnan Sharif, Co-Director (Research)

Karen Rockell, Co-Director (PPIE)

For those of you who are not aware of the Network, this is an all-organ initiative between clinical, patient, public, and scientific representatives, to support research in organ donation and transplantation, to encourage and develop strong collaborations, for patient benefit.

In addition to ourselves as the two Co-Directors, we have two Deputy Directors, Emma Aitken and Jonathan Bannard-Smith.  The Network also benefits from having an Executive Team and Board, which are comprised of representation nationally and across organs.  We also have a Network representative in each organ 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.
