Unit description:

The Transplant Acute Care Unit is a 15-bed unit dedicated to caring for patients who require abdominal organ transplantation. Each year, we perform over 125 kidney, pancreas, and liver transplants. Care is also provided to medicine patients awaiting transplantation – giving our staff the rare opportunity to care for patients through every step of the journey from pre-transplantation to post-transplantation and recovery.
