Leaflets

The HTA produces leaflets which provide information for patients and also general information about our work. This page also provides links to useful NHS Blood and Transplant leaflets.

Living-donor transplants

Most organs for transplants are donated from people who have died. However, every year, more and more people receive organs from living donors. This leaflet provides information for anyone considering a living-donor transplant.
