Has anyone participated in this research project and had experience of it post transplant?

There was an item on the BBC News some time ago when the first few of these 'warmed liver transplants' had happened. Article might be of interest to you:- bbc.co.uk/news/health-21788533

All the best

My huband volunteered for this pretransplant but he was not a candidate. King's College has a form which people on the listcan volunteer for.

No, I would have but I volunteered for another research project instead, and you can't do two. All I can say is my experience of being involved in research means you get amazing aftercare. This is because everything has to be textbook and documented. I virtually have a consultant on speed dial.
