Thank you @The_MRC and @MRCDTP-IBR for supporting me in through this opportunity and thank you to @POST_UK for a truly memorable experience.

Living organ donations are transplants of an organ from a living donor. Last year, 98% of all living organ donations were kidneys. While there is some risk, they are outweighed by the benefits to the recipient and to wider society. https://t.co/QLajZWBrJM
