About the Program
The 2009 conference will provide physicians, surgeons, nurses, transplant coordinators and all kinds of organ procurement personell with advanced knowledge in all aspects of organ donation. Plenary sessions, breakout sessions and workshops will give opportunities for both formal and informal discussions on numerous topics. Delegates from around the world will participate in the event. The meetings of the ISODP are biannual meetings, alternating with the conferences of the TTS. For the first time the conference will be organised in close cooperation with the ETCO (European Transplantation Coordinators Organisation). The meeting provides an ideal opportunity for scientific discussion and exchange of new ideas with the focus on the basic topic of organ transplantation, which is organ donation. Transplantation ist not possible without prior organ donation. Come and join us in our efforts to improve the number of organ donations and the quality of organs to help more patients suffering from different organdistructive diseases.
