The aim of the Education Committee (EC) is to coordinate ESOT’s efforts to advance multidisciplinary education for transplant professionals at all career levels and to contribute to their professional development.
The Basic Science Committee promotes scientific issues and transplantation research within ESOT. An active basic science community and an efficient translation of innovation into the clinic are crucial for the future of transplantation medicine.
The European Transplant Allied Healthcare Professionals (ETAHP) reaches out to allied healthcare professionals throughout Europe in order to ensure the best care possible for all transplant patients, with the aim to optimize patient outcomes.
The Young Professionals in Transplantation (YPT) is the Network for Junior Transplant professionals of ESOT, representing all young transplant clinicians and scientists who are beginning a career in transplantation and organ donation.
The mission of ECTORS is to provide a forum for discussing and stimulating novel developments in the fields of cellular therapies in organ transplantation, organ regeneration and generation of new organs from stem cells and biomaterials.
ECTTA is the forum for experience exchange on treatment of patients with end-stage heart and lung failure. Our aim is to improve outcomes for the patients.
EDTCO aims to support health care professionals to provide clinically effective programmes on organ and tissue donation, procurement and transplantation.
EKITA is the Organ Expert Section of ESOT on kidney transplantation in Europe, providing a forum for kidney transplantation professionals to exchange scientific information and views aimed at providing the best service to European patients .
The European Liver and Intestine Transplant Association (ELITA), previously known as the European Liver Transplant Association (ELTA), is a section of ESOT. Its membership represents the expertise on liver and intestinal transplantation in Europe.
ELPAT is a European platform that brings continuity and progress in European research and dialogue on "Ethical, Legal and Psychosocial Aspects of organ Transplantation". ELPAT currently consists of over 160 experts from more than 25 European countries.
EPITA is established to provide a forum for those working in the field of pancreas and islet of Langerhans transplantation or any other alternative form of beta cell replacement in Europe, to exchange scientific information and views related primarily to providing the best service for patients in Europe requiring pancreas or islet transplantation.
VCA has opened a new era in the field of transplantation, reconstructive and restorative surgery. This Section brings together 10 representatives of major European teams at the forefront in this field.
This document represents a position statement by which the European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT) and the ESCMID Study Group for Immunocompromised Hosts (ESGICH) aim to provide guidance to clinicians involved in the care of solid organ transplant recipients regarding the management of the risk for SARS-CoV2 infection in the current pandemic scenario, and to advocate for public health policies directed towards protection of this particularly frail population. A panel of experts from both societies reviewed the current literature focusing on the effectiveness of immune response following SARS-COv2 vaccination, the interaction with immunosuppressive medication, and the role of antiviral therapies in this context.
This session will provide the community with a comprehensive programme exploring the role of covid-19 in organ transplantation recipients, including its impact, the effectiveness of vaccination, treatments and the use of organs from donors with active covid-19 infection.
Featuring contributions from leading experts Deepali Kumar, Paolo Grossi, Jay A Fishman, Susanne Dam Nielsen, Nassim Kamar and Emanuel Raschi, this is a must-watch for anyone interested in covid-19 and organ transplantation.
Addressing the biggest challenges in transplantation takes teamwork. With an ESOT membership, you’ll continue to be a valued part of Europe’s largest network of dedicated transplant professionals, sharing ideas and collaborating to improve the science and practice of transplantation.
Within this resource, we hope to provide easy and quick access to important information on COVID-19 vaccines for transplant professionals. ESOT will continue to add new information and studies when they become available, so it is a growing library with the latest insight in this changing arena.
