Independent Assessors

The HTA trains and accredits Independent Assessors (IAs) to assess certain types of living organ transplantation in the UK.

These types of transplantation include paired, pooled and non-directed altruistic donations. The IA acts both as a representative of the HTA and as the advocate of the donor.

Revised Guidance for transplant teams and independent assessors

Online submission system for IA reports

IAs can submit their reports using our online submission system. This is a secure system which is data protected.

If the online system is unavailable, please refer to the contingency plan in the above guidance and use the contingency report form.

IA e-learning course

The e-learning course for IAs has been designed to train IAs and will also be used as part of the reaccreditation process. It is also possible to access the course if you would like to refresh your memory of the approval process.

To access the e-learning course, IAs should use their same username and password as for accessing the online submission system for IA reports. If you cannot remember your username and password, you can request that a reminder is emailed to you on the log in page below.

Anyone can access the course – if you do not have a username and password, please click on the link below and then click 'Request a password'.

CPD credits

This course has CPD approval from the Royal College of Physicians (RCP). Completion of the e-learning course will allow IAs who are members of the RCP to accrue 4 CPD credits.
