A video and eLearning module have been developed in partnership with Scottish Government and key stakeholders.  These learning resources are for all NHS staff involved in the retrieval of organs and tissue for transplantation in Scotland and other UK countries.

The video discusses the implementation of the Human Tissue (Authorisation) (Scotland) Act 2019 and the key changes to practice that you must be aware of when the Act comes into place in March 2021.

Learning outcomes of the eLearning module include:

  • Understand the implications to clinical practice of the new Human Tissue (Authorisation)(Scotland) Act 2019
  • Know where to obtain guidance and where to escalate complex issues in real time clinical situations
  • Evaluate your knowledge and understanding of the Human Tissue (Authorisation)(Scotland) Act 2019
  • Know where to access Scottish government guidance on Human Tissue (Scotland) Acts
