Addenbrooke's Transplant Unit exists to provide high quality specialist care. The Unit aims to support the patient and their family, around the time of their transplant or other period of illness. The teams working in the Unit believe that all patients should be cared for as equal individuals, and specialist nursing care is offered to those in need of it. The success of all care depends upon accurate and appropriate intervention. They seek through skills, strength and knowledge to promote and develop people's confidence in their own ability to affect their health status in the long term.
Care is planned, implemented and evaluated using a systematic approach.
All care is based on individual assessment, sound rationale and, when appropriate research exists, it is utilised. All members of staff on the Transplant Unit work together for the benefit of the patient in a friendly and supportive environment.
