title: Organ donation and transplantation.
abstract: Organ donation and transplantation are highly controversial and emotive areas of nursing ( 1 ). Nonetheless, sudden death is a continual issue in the A&E department, thus creating a potential source of donors for transplantation purposes ( 2 ). This article will consider what organs would be suitable for retrieval in A&E, what appears to be restricting this process, and means of improving the rate of retrieval.
