Provisional suggestions for the project include:

• Partnership with community based organisations primarily the local councils. • Council sponsored events would have an OD promotional content for which

NHSBT/Trust ODCs would provide personnel /material. • Recruit “donation champions” who with training and funding would promote

OD in schools, GP surgeries, and by events in the community. • Train practice nurses for enrolling patients in the ODR • Involve local universities. • Make as much use of the local press and have a presence at local events

such as ‘Fair in the Square’.

• Recruitment of members of NHS Trusts to provide a firm community base for ODCs efforts.

Comments: The Royal Free Hospital is a tertiary referral centre for a number of specialities including liver and renal transplant, hepatobiliary surgery, oncology and HIV, it is also a primary PCI centre and provides care to Cypriot and private Arab patients. Therefore the ethnicity of the local community is of reduced significance.
