Organ transplantation saves lives. However, people’s experiences of quality of life and healthcare after transplant are not well understood.
To help us understand more about experiences of life after transplant, a research team at Newcastle University have developed three surveys. These allow people to report on their quality of life, symptoms, and healthcare experiences after transplant.
This research is part of the Newcastle and Cambridge NIHR/NHSBT Blood and Transplant Research Unit in Organ Donation and Transplantation
They need people to help them test the surveys to make sure they work the way they are intended. There are multiple ways you can get involved to help.
If you live in the United Kingdom, are aged 18 years or older and have had a liver transplant 12 months ago or more, the team would like to hear from you.
You can choose to be involved in one or both of the opportunities detailed below.
For more information on what is involved in taking part, please take the time to read the attached participant information sheets.
If you have any questions or would like to talk with the study team, please email Ben Rimmer on: ODT.experiences@newcastle.ac.uk
