The Roles of Allied Health Professionals in Deceased Donation

Tuesday, May 7, 2024 - 8:00 AM (Local time in Montreal)
Local time (Corresponding local time at your current location)
The duration of this presentation is scheduled for 60 minutes.

Outline

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the diverse and important roles that allied health professionals (AHP) may play in deceased donation around the world. It will highlight some of the many benefits of including AHP in multidisciplinary care teams, as well as some of the challenges and barriers to inclusion of AHPs in particular countries and regions.

The vital roles of AHPs are rarely given attention, and many transplant clinicians may be unfamiliar with the important and diverse roles they play. This webinar is also strategically important in drawing attention to the relatively new AHP committee and aims to encourage recruitment of new AHP members of TTS, promote engagement with the committee’s future activities and encourage registration of AHPs for the Istanbul conference and satellite event.

Learning Objectives

  1. Be familiar with the range of roles that allied health professionals may play in deceased organ donation worldwide: nursing, social workers, psychologists and physiotherapis role.
  2. Describe the potential benefits of including allied health professionals in multidisciplinary deceased donation care.
  3. Discuss potential barriers and solutions for effective engagement with allied health professionals in organ donation.
