Welcome Message from the Co-Chairs

chairs3Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the Women in Transplantation initiative website. We are delighted that you are interested in this exciting scheme and hope that you will enjoy your involvement.

The scheme has been set up to provide support and guidance to future generations of transplant professionals. Our aim is to create and cultivate the relationships necessary to enable today's women to reach their full potential in the field of transplantation.

We invite you to join us in this important and unique initiative by completing the membership form available online. In an effort to encourage and support as many women as possible, membership is free. We offer all women (whether or not you choose to become a member) the opportunity to sign up to our regular mailings and to take part in one of our networking events held at international meetings.

In addition, those who do join us will be given the chance to join our exciting mentoring international scheme (click here for more information). The next round of applications from those who wish to access a mentor will be open from 1st September for four weeks.

If you feel able to support us by becoming a mentor, please complete the membership application form with your contact details and attach a CV or biosketch and, if you wish, a photo. We will review your application and contact you in due course.

We do hope that you decide to join us and look forward to meeting you at some point in the future.
