Going Home After Your Transplant

Everyone looks forward to going home but it can be an anxious time. The team carefully plans your discharge so that you and your family feel confident and well supported at home. You will receive a Discharge Information Pack at this time and regular follow up will be arranged.

Recovering from a liver transplant is a unique experience and your need for advice and support from the Transplant Unit will vary in the months and years ahead. We hope that the following information will help you to gain the confidence and knowledge you need to return safely to your normal everyday life. The booklet offers general advice for all liver transplant recipients and suggests ways in which the various members of staff at the Transplant Unit may be able to help you with specific queries or problems.

Please remember that you can contact the Transplant Unit at any time for help and advice or if you become unwell in any way.
