My three eras of transplantation
• Pre 1983: will it ever work?
• 1983-2001: how can we make it better?
• 2001-2011: why can’t more people have a transplant?
Pre 1983
• Will it ever work?

Anecdotes
• My first heart donor:
Anecdotes
• My first heart donor:
“To wrench the quivering heart from a freshly dead corpse is not a procedure with which I wish to be associated”
The BTS: memoir of John Hopewell
• “In the intervening years (1960-1968) I was occupied by forming the London Transplant Group, which became an almost nationwide organization for the exchange of donor kidneys, ultimately to become the National Kidney Registry. Toward the end of the 1960’s, Leslie Brent of the British Society of Immunology, and I realised that both bodies were planning to become a British Transplantation Society and we had support from each to form a single society under that name. Its inaugural meting was held at the Royal Free Hospital on 12th April 1972, when Sir Peter Medawar was elected as the first president”.
What’s happened since 1983?
• Good things:
• Immunosuppression– Cyclosporin, Tacrolimus, MMF, Rapamycin, Monoclonal Abs
• Surgery, anaesthesia and intensive care• Histocompatability science• Antibiotics and other agents• Biopsy/biomarkers for diagnosis of rejection
What’s happened since 1983?
• Bad things:
• The donor shortage• Changing donor demographics
– Less DBD donors– Age– Co-morbidity
