Abstract:
:While the outcome following organ transplantation in the United Kingdom has never been better, the waiting list has never been longer and the organ shortage is now the most pressing issue. UK Transplant has invested in four initiatives to promote donor and transplant numbers: coordinating the coordinators, establishing donor liaison posts, improving living donor coordination, and encouraging non-heart-beating donation. The Potential Donor Audit to be introduced as soon as possible will clarify the likely maximum number of heart-beating donors. A major review of the legal framework covering donation and transplantation in England and Wales is currently underway. It is hoped that in due course the benefits of these initiatives will be translated into a rise in both donor and transplant numbers.
