About this episode

We have published guidance recommending routine NHS access to specialist devices that keep donated livers and lungs functioning outside the body, potentially unlocking hundreds of organs for transplant each year.

We hear from cardiothoracic surgeon Marius Berman, Clinical Director of the Transplant Programme at Royal Papworth Hospital. And by Monica Walsh, who received a liver transplant almost 10 years ago and now mentors others waiting for transplants.
