Videos from the 2019 Deceased Donation Symposium at the Critical Care Canada Forum
The Critical Care Canada Forum (CCCF) took place in Toronto from November 10–13, 2019. This marked the fifth annual Deceased Donation Symposium, a two-day symposium on organ donation and transplantation and its application to critical care practice featuring sessions on opt-out legislation, medical assistance in dying, and non-perfused organ donation. Presentations from these sessions were recorded and can be found on Canadian Blood Services’ professional education website.

National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week
Last week, we recognized NOTDAW in tribute to donors and donor families and the thousands of patients in need of a transplant, as well as those who have died waiting. Though our collective plans to promote donation this April shifted in the wake of COVID-19, we cannot forget the intent of this powerful message. Please continue to spread the word. A toolkit for year-round promotion of organ and tissue donation can be found online here.
