Promoting living kidney donation
This project is funded by the National BAME Transplant Alliance and NHS Blood and Transplant, as part of the ‘Living Transplant Initiative’ which is aimed at promoting organ donation among Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. The project involves developing and trialling a video, and community programme to promote living kidney transplantation among the Hindu community in Leicestershire. The project will utilise behavioural theories to develop a culturally specific video to increase knowledge, and encourage renal disease patients and their social network to communicate about living kidney donation. The proposed project is a collaboration between the University of Warwick, University Hospital Leicester NHS Trust and Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. A wide range of stakeholders will be involved in the project including clinicians, patients and members of Hindu and Sikh communities. This project is being completed under the supervision of Prof Caroline Meyer and Dr Sunil Daga.
