ODT Hub

The Organ Donation and Transplant (ODT) Hub launched on 25 September 2017 to deliver the vision of making ODT processes simpler, safer and more supportive to its wide range of stakeholders.

The teams include ODT Hub Operations and ODT Hub Information Services. The ODT Hub is overseen by Julie Whitney, Head of Service Delivery - ODT Hub (Clinical Lead) and managed by Michael Stokes, the Operations Manager – ODT Hub (pictured).

The ODT Hub provide NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) and the transplant community with matching, allocation, logistical support and follow up. We collect and communicate vital information needed to make transplants happen, improve transplantation and protect organ recipients and living donors for the rest of their lives.

The ODT Hub work closely with both the donation and transplant communities to ensure the pathways for donors are safe and effective. One of the key aspects of the leadership of the ODT Hub is to work alongside the transplant teams to ensure the offering and allocation processes are clinically effective and operationally deliverable. The Head of Service Delivery and the Operations Manager ensure the whole of ODT Hub is operationally supported to deliver a world class service.
