the NHS - providing lower costs to hospitals through improved integration and planning of end-to-end supply chain... NHSBT's Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation Directorate's role is to work with partners across the NHS to increase organ donation and transplantation in the UK. We manage the Specialist Nursing Service for Organ Donation and provide funding and leadership for the UK's Clinical Leads for Organ Donation, the Organ Donation Committees, and their Chairs and for Regional Organ Donation Collaboratives. We manage the NHS Organ Donor Register and promote the benefits of organ donation to the public. We support Living Donation through our Living Donor Kidney Strategy, and we commission the National Organ Retrieval Service. On the Transplant side, NHSBT is responsible for working with clinicians in the Organ Advisory Groups to develop and implement patient selection criteria and organ allocation policies for organs from deceased donors and we monitor transplant outcomes..
