Our Work

What do you think about kidney donation and transplantation?

Educating Ontario About Transplants

We educate patients about kidney transplants and organ donations, while providing Ontario clinicians with resources to support their patients.

Understanding and Reducing Barriers to Transplantation

We research patients’ concerns and beliefs about kidney disease, transplantation, and organ donation. In response, we create accessible, culturally relevant resources that answers concerns, promotes equitable access to transplants and overcomes barriers.

Advancing Patient-Centred Care

We research how Patient-Reported Outcomes measurement tools can help people with chronic kidney disease and help clinicians provide patient-centred care. Our research assesses existing tools and is used to create new tools. The tools we develop are electronic and assess Patient-Reported Outcomes to improve kidney transplant recipients’ long-term health outcomes, wellbeing and patient care.
