We know that having a transplant can be an overwhelming experience, whether you’re preparing for one or have already received an organ. The gift of life can bring many emotions, as well as practical concerns and questions too.

That’s why we’ve created a transplant handbook to help guide patients through, and to help answer some of the most common questions we hear from our community.

Inside the handbook you’ll find information about:

• Ideas for what to do in Harefield on clinic visits
• Essentials for being an inpatient
• Tips for looking after your mental health
• Travel advice for post-transplant life
• Writing to your donor’s family
• How to get in touch with Harefield
• Stories from people who have had transplants
