Donor Liaison Role

Our Donor Liaison staff receive potential femoral head donor referrals from Surgeons, and then engage with these patients to discuss the opportunity to donate, to review their medical history, and to obtain their consent to donation. The involvement of the Donor Liaison staff has enhanced the donor process in many ways. Patients are more aware of the process of donation, donor documentation has improved, strict exclusion criteria are thoroughly addressed in the interview process and unsuitable donations are avoided. All resulting in reduction of post donation failures and a significant cost saving to the organisation.
