The UK Organ Donation and Transplantation Research Network has asked us to pass this on to the Listen community:

The UK Organ Donation and Transplantation Research Network (UKODTRN)      https://kidneyresearchuk.org/research/research-networks/ukodtrn/  works across the UK to make sure that health research will help the organ donation and transplant community and lead to improvements in the areas that matter most to individuals, families and carers.

Health research changes lives. It is through research that we develop better treatments, as well as improve diagnosis, prevention, care and quality of life. But this vital research is only possible thanks to people of all backgrounds taking part. These people help to change lives and improve healthcare for all. The more people who take part, the faster we can make improvements to organ donation and transplantation services.

To make health research work for the people taking part, we wish to find out from the patients, families, and carers, the reasons why they do, or do not decide to take part. This will help us understand what we can do to make it easier for people to take part in research in the future.

The survey is called “Barriers to you taking part in organ donation and transplantation clinical research”. It should take between 5-7 minutes to complete.
