Kidney Transplant Patient Overview Course

Course

In this one-week course, participants will be able to understand the basics of running a renal transplant programme, involving both living and deceased donor kidney transplant.

Participants will shadow our team for their morning ward rounds, before the transplant coordinators join the clinic sessions while the nurses will be attached to our transplant wards for real-time learning. Other than the in-depth sharing of clinical experience and best practices by our doctors, they will also have an unrivalled opportunity to observe a pair of live kidney transplant operations for donor and recipient.
