30-Hours Diploma in Care for Organ Transplant Patients

Credit hours

3

Caring for someone after an organ transplant brings particular needs, and this programme explains them clearly. Learners look at immunosuppressive medication, infection prevention, signs of organ rejection, nutrition and lifestyle changes, and psychosocial support. Ethical and legal issues and long-term care planning are also covered. It builds awareness for carers and support staff rather than clinical competence.
