The BASL2022 Annual Meeting is the highlight of the BASL calendar where all of us interested in liver disease will share time whether we are clinicians, nurses, basic scientists, pharmacists, allied health professionals, working in industry or students.
.
As in previous years, the course will focus on the innovative and unique aspects of the clinical science in transplantation that are taking place within King’s. The emphasis this year will be on problems facing a transplant in sensitised individuals with HLA antibodies, mechanisms of AMR, novel strategies to prevent AMR by targeting complement or coagulation systems, mechanisms of immunological tolerance and novel ways to induce it and current and next generation Treg therapies.

Application deadline: 25 September 2022
Please note that this virtual course will be running again this year, and that it has been re-designed for transplant surgeons and nephrologists with an interest in deceased donor kidney transplantation.
Decisions on whether to accept or decline a deceased donor kidney transplant offer, and who best to implant an organ into, are challenging and complex. This course aims to provide a framework and evidence-base on how to approach these decisions. The course has been re-designed for 2022 and will now include a dedicated breakout session for nurses. There will also be a focus on emerging issues within kidney utilisation, such as the use of organs from SARS-CoV-2 positive deceased donors.
The course will be hosted by clinicians from Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT): Mr Chris Callaghan (consultant transplant surgeon), Mr Jonathon Olsburgh (consultant transplant surgeon) and Dr Rachel Hilton (consultant nephrologist). They will be joined by consultants and senior nursing colleagues from across the UK, and the US.
Please note that the booking website is now open:

Presented by Professor Robert Montgomery (Professor of Surgery and Director of New York University Langone Transplant Institute) and Professor Arthur Caplan (Professor of Bioethics and founding head of the Division of Medical Ethics at New York University Grossman School of Medicine)
We are delighted to welcome our joint presenters on the topic of the ethics of xenotransplantation – both are world class leaders in their fields:
Prof. Robert (Bob) Montgomery is well known as an innovator in transplantation, and has performed 2 xenotransplants using pig kidneys in successful experimental procedures in 2021. His previous notable innovations include development of laparoscopic live kidney donation and domino kidney donation, and he is recognised as a world authority on desensitisation. In 2010, the Guinness Book of World Records credited him with performing the most kidney transplants in one day.
Prof Arthur (Art) Caplan is internationally recognised as a leader in the field of Bioethics, and has authored 35 books and >800 peer reviewed papers. He is a regular commentator on health and bioethics issues who brings a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to the area of the ethics of xenotransplantation.
