CForYourself: Talking transplant

Everyone going through the transplant process will have a different experience and journey.  Adjusting to life after an organ transplant can bring new opportunities, but also new challenges. This can be complex to navigate, both practically and emotionally.

To mark Organ Donation Week, our host, Lucy, has a virtual tea and a chat with Zanib Nasim, to talk about her experience of having a transplant. In an emotional and honest conversation, they cover adjusting to life post transplant, Zanib’s hopes for the future and what the experience has taught her.

Zanib is a member of the Trust’s involvement group, so you'll also hear about how she uses her voice to influence the work of Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Plus, Louise Hodge, Involvement Coordinator at the Trust, explains how by joining the group, your experiences and expertise can inform future clinical care, research and the work of the Trust.
