Clinical Research Network
Call for volunteer to take part in the study about experiences of South Asian and African-Caribbean families who were asked to donate their relatives’ organs after their death
If you were asked about organ donation after your relative’s death, and if you are from a South Asian / Asian British or African-Caribbean/ Black British ethnic background living in North-West of England, would you be willing to discuss your experiences with us? We are looking for people who decide not to donate their relative’s organ, as well as people who consented to donation. The experiences of both donor and non-donor families and individuals are equally important to us. All participation would be fully confidential and anonymous.
