The Liver Transplant Unit is very happy to announce that we have received funding from the Department of Health and Human Services for an OrganOx Metra Liver Perfusion Device. This device can keep donated organs suitable for transplant outside the body for up 24 hours! We would like to thank everyone who was involved in making this a reality for our unit including Professor Robert Jones and Graham Starkey who have been raising awareness of the benefits of this device for many months, as well as our patients who wrote to the Department to support the required funding.

This is a very exciting milestone for the Liver Transplant Unit and we hope it will lead to more life-saving transplants in the years ahead.
