Multidisciplinary Staff

This article explores ways in which paediatricians can help increase awareness and embed organ and tissue donation in the end-of-life care process. This can save patient lives on the organ transplant waiting list, many of whom currently die prematurely. The information benefits multidisciplinary staff including doctors, nurses and allied professionals to (1) recognise triggers for making referral to the specialist nurse for organ donation in order to make timely assessment for suitability for organ and/or tissue donation, (2) plan a multidisciplinary approach for families to make decisions for the gift of life and (3) help provide on-going support to families and staff.

The purpose of this article is to outline the importance of organ and tissue donation as a normal part of end-of-life care. Organ-donation statistics are presented, which highlight the need for more donors. Many healthcare assistants (HCAs) and registered nurses are involved in the care of dying and deceased patients. This article intends to equip the HCA with knowledge of key terms and best practice concerning the organ- and tissue-donation process. Grief response is briefly explored and the importance of collaborative working is discussed. A framework for best practice is presented to enhance the likelihood of a positive donation outcome.
