 The effects that Organ and Tissue donation can have on a grieving family will leave you humbled each and every day. This derives from the knowledge that out of truly tragic events comes the comfort that their loved one has saved the life of someone else and knowing that a recipient has been given a new chance at life. This brings joy and renewed hope to not only them but their families as well.

This is the world of NHS Blood & Transplant. A moving, motivating, fascinating and endlessly changing environment where our Specialist Nurse in Organ Donation are a fundamental driving force in making this happen.
