Transplant Links

You will find below links to other websites which are very useful and will provide you with lots of information about transplants and other related topics.

If you know of a website that should be included, please let me know and send the details.   We are trying to include a variety of sites of interest.

As the first link is to my personal website I am responsible for the content.   I was asked to put my own link on the FHLTA website by other members of the committee, please do not think I am vain.  
Oh alright then - I am!  

My site includes lots of transplant stuff but also contains lots of self indulgent rubbish.   Please treat most of what you read with the contempt it deserves and your tongue firmly in cheek.
