HSJ Awards 2025: Driving Efficiency through Technology Award

WINNER

NHS Blood and Transplant

TransplantPath

Partnered by

TransplantPath was developed to address the significant delays and inefficiencies that plagued the traditional paper-based organ allocation system. The digital platform is now operational across all UK organ donation and transplant centres, enabling clinical teams to work more efficiently through instant image sharing, reduced administrative burden, and improved utilisation of available organs for transplantation.

The system is already demonstrating measurable improvements in patient outcomes and is contributing to saving lives across the NHS. Beyond its clinical impact, this recognition also celebrates the dedicated team responsible for TransplantPath’s development – acknowledging their innovation, expertise, and unwavering commitment to enhancing patient care through technological advancement.
