Agimol Pradeep one of our Renal Transplant Coordinators here at the MRI has been voted Best Nurse by the British Malayali (a group for South Indians living in the UK) for her work raising awareness for organ donation in the South Asian Community. Agimol, who is a post-grad PhD student at the University of Salford, aims to tackle the problems by exploring and investigating the views of South Asian people to understand why they are reluctant to become donors.
National figures show that South Asians wait three times longer for a kidney transplant due to the difficulties in finding a successful match.
