• Summary:Organ transplantation is now an established treatment for patients with organ failure. Transplantation is taught on all medical student curricula and is part of specialty training in medicine and surgery. In addition nursing staff spend time on transplant wards during their training and pharmacists both in hospital and outside deal with transplant patients and immunosuppressants regularly. Transplantation at a Glance provides a succinct overview of both the scientific and clinical principles of organ transplantation which will appeal to this wide-ranging market.
