The ultimate gift: the number of transplants performed in the UK last year was 6% down on 1995 while the waiting list grew by 5%

Article Abstract:

Transplant coordinators are employed to educate the public, nurses and other health professions, liaising with the UK Transplant Service Authority. All donor and patient information is stored on computer and a 24 hour organ matching and allocation service is provided. Nurses lack confidence in broaching the subject of donation with relatives of donors, according to a survey. Also relatives are often concerned about the actual procurement, according to transplant coordinators, and some hospitals offer follow-up booklets and homes visits for the families of donors.

ENs may have to put forward a case for funding and it is important to ensure that resources are used cost effectively. Conversion should be just one of several ways to develop a nursing career.
