About The Programme
Designed for clinicians who want to think beyond their speciality
TransplantForward™ is built for the non-transplant specialist and transplant specialists alike — the nephrologist, hepatologist, ICU physician, surgeon or GP who encounters potential transplant patients every day. Our programme gives you the clinical context, the referral confidence, and the collegial networks to act on what you know.
Transplant medicine is never a single-speciality story. Each session brings surgeons, physicians, intensivists and allied health professionals together in the structured clinical conversations that rarely happen in daily practice.
Thought Leadership
Built by Africa’s leading transplant clinicians—not adapted, but designed for our context. Each session challenges assumptions, delivers current evidence, and raises your clinical approach.
Accredited CPD
All sessions are accredited through the South African Medical Association.
Referral Networks
Patients miss out when referrals fail. TransplantForward™ highlights eligibility, guides referrals, and clears up common misconceptions.

Waiting List Nation: An Exploration of the Kidney Crisis
