Role of Liver Transplant Recipient Coordinator
The Liver Transplant Coordinator (LTPC) is a clinical nurse specialist with autonomous and critical thinking skills, who plays an integral role within the multidisciplinary team looking after patients with liver disease. The LTPC supports both the patient and their family during all phases of the transplant process which include pre assessment, waiting list management, and the transplant, immediate and long term post-transplant care.
Pre-Assessment in Endoscopy Nursing
The pre-assessment process plays a crucial role in gathering accurate information about patients ahead of their endoscopy. For the majority of patients, this assessment will take place before their scheduled appointment, either through a questionnaire, a pre-procedure phone call, or during an outpatient visit.
