Patient engagement in a Canadian consensus forum for heart donation after circulatory determination of death.
CONCLUSION: Despite the complexity of the content and the emotionally sensitive nature of discussions around deceased organ donation, a well-planned strategy to involve patient partners is important, impactful, and central to the process. This suggests a broad interprofessional audience can engage with properly prepared and supported patient partners to strengthen and focus dialogue and outputs in the development of health policy in the donation and transplant sector.
