£2.7 Million raised

Image

The first phase of the Oxford Transplant Campaign to raise £5 million to double the capacity of the current centre was chaired by David L. Mason OBE in London.  In October 2007 Mr Mason passed on the baton of Campaign Chairman to  Peter Marshall CMG OBE who agreed to lead the second phase of the Campaign in Oxford. The campaign is currently in a quiet phase. As soon as the Outline Business Case is approved it is planned to launch the second phase fundraising to complete the campaign.

Oxford Scientists Lead the Way

Challenging the current model of cold organ preservation, Professor Peter Friend and Dr Constantin-C Coussios (pictured) have developed a new method of maintaining an organ in a functioning state outside the body for periods in excess of 3 days by perfusing it with whole blood at normal body temperature.  In December 2008, the technology was transferred into a University spin-off company, OrganOx, which is developing a clinical device for improved preservation and repair of livers prior to transplantation.  The device is expected to result in a significant increase in the number and quality of transplantable organs.

Improving relatives consent to organ donation

Obtaining consent from families for organ donation is the most important element of a successful transplant programme. In a recent large study of donor and non-donor families, 57% of families were predisposed to donate, 17% were unsure, and 25% were not in favour.1 The challenge is to secure consent from those people who are predisposed to donate, convert a substantial proportion of those who are unsure, and convert a smaller proportion of those who are initially not in favour. In the right circumstances this approach can achieve an 80% consent rate.
