This website has been set up to offer help and support to any patients suffering from liver disease where the diagnosis may result in having a liver transplant, and it is intended primarily for the University Hospital liver Patients. The group itself is run on a voluntary basis and the majority of our members have either had transplants themselves or have been carers for transplanted patients. We are a registered charity and any money raised or donated is used entirely for the benefit of liver patients at the University Hospital.
As the amount of transplants carried out each year is steadily increasing, and more could be done if there were more donors available on the register, as of July 2007 the QE has now carried out over 3000 transplants, (this figure achieved earlier this month) and the need to continue with the support group is even more important. By increasing its members this will help generate income and help to provide fund raising ideas which are a much needed role of the group.
New members are always welcome, please Email us below or use the contact details on the main index.
Please Carry a Donor Card.
Look after your liver, and it will look after you.

A Special Poem
I received a gift back in 92
It came from someone I never knew.
It came with no card, ribbon or bows
But sent to me that’s all I know.
It didn’t arrive in a box or sack
And is a gift one would never send back.
The gift in size is rather small
Compared to its power to conquer all.
You’ll never hold this gift in your hand
It’s given to people throughout the land...
This beautiful gift has set me free
What a precious gift and given to me.
This gift was given out of selfless love
And delivered to me with help from above.
These gifts are so priceless, valuable and few
When you know of this gift, you will agree too.
With this gift I can hold my head high
To dream the impossible and reach for the sky.
This gift has taught me to scream and shout
Now let me tell you what this gift is about.
This gift will not be taken in strife
The gift I speak of is that of life.
The gift of life handed me a key
It opened doors and set me free.
Organs aren’t needed at your final destination
Leave them on Earth without hesitation.
Every human will someday be called to come home
Your organs may stay and continue to roam.
No need for organs in the heavens above
Leave them on Earth for others to love.
Now that all has been said and done
Please donate your organs and give life to one.
Let’s spread the news let’s scream and shout
Organ donation is what it’s all about!
