Contact your local unit
If you’ve decided that living kidney donation is something you would like to do, the next step is to contact your local Living Donor Transplant Co-ordinator.
They will help to talk you through the process, answer any questions that you have and, if you’d find it helpful, can arrange for you to talk to someone who has already donated a kidney.
Find out more and how to get in touch with your local Living Donor Transplant Co-ordinator below, or enter your postcode to find out which teams and units would be involved in your care.
