Guidance on reporting serious adverse events of reactions.

In preparation for ODT establishments considering or planning, for transplantation services to resume, we have created this guidance.

You will need to inform the HTA of your plans using the contact details at the bottom of the page.

This page contains answers to common questions professionals ask about organ transplantation.

This page contains information on the quality and safety of organs intended for transplantation.

Guidance and resources for establishments licenced under our Organ donation and transplantation (ODT) sector

The HTA traceability licensing standards aim to ensure that procedures to identify the deceased are robust. This is important to protect the dignity of the deceased.

T1(a): Bodies are tagged or labelled upon arrival at the mortuary.

T1(b): There is a system to track each body from admission to the mortuary to release for burial or cremation (for example, mortuary register, patient file, or transport records)
