Welcome to the Transplant Interest Group page!

The Transplant Group was formed after feedback from Members showed that there was not enough focus on transplantation. The Group aims to increase the profile of transplantation within EDTNA/ERCA.

This involves liaison with:

• Education Board (EB): add to or influence their work
• Research Board (RB): looking at protocols/practice guidelines
• Conference programme: ideas for speakers, sessions, help with chairing
• EDTNA/ERCA media: input via journal, newsletter, website
• Links with National societies, patient groups, industry. The EDTNA/ERCA strategy includes working towards "an international network of renal care associations"
• Members – most importantly, we must respond to feedback from members. Please contact us with your thoughts and suggestions. One of the EDTNA/ERCA strategies is for "demand driven services and products", this is an opportunity for you to put some comments to us.

“I am currently working with an international team of authors on the new EDTNA/ERCA book on Renal Transplantation. The different chapters are progressing well and we plan to have the book published in time for the Hamburg Conference. This latest publication in the series of EDTNA/ERCA handbooks will cover the basic issues around kidney transplantation and will be a good introduction to the subject.
One of the topics in the book, donation, will be looked at more closely at the Hamburg Conference. We will have guest speakers to tell us about the latest thoughts and practices on how we can help to increase donation rates, in both deceased and living donors.”
