The Human Tissue Act 2004 (HT Act) covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The HT Act established the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) to regulate activities concerning the removal, storage, use and disposal of human tissue. This code of practice gives practical guidance to professionals carrying out activities which lie within the HTA's remit. They may also be of interest to members of the public. This code of practice is an updated version of the first edition of this publication, incorporating new material and revisions that reflect the HTA's experience of regulation. The code has been made more relevant to the sectors the HTA regulate by including case studies and examples; and has been restructured in a way that makes it more user-friendly. This code sets out the HTA's requirements for living donation of organs by transplantation. It includes specific information on the requirements of the HT Act and about the HTA's role in approving donations.
The code also includes guidance on deceased organ donation, and sets out the legislative requirements for seeking consent to donation and information about the roles of the HTA and NHS Blood and Transplant in the deceased donation process. The HTA has published seven other new editions of the codes of practice, details of which can be found below. The codes complement each other and should be read alongside other relevant advice and guidance. This code on Consent replaces the previous code of practice. It has been approved by the Secretary of State following consultation with the Welsh Assembly Government and the Northem Ireland department, and it has received Parliamentary approval.
This title includes contents such as: Living organ donation - types of living organ donation, requirements of the legislation, HTA process, consent, and informing the donor; Deceased organ donation - requirements of the legislation and content, withdrawal of consent, role of the HTA and NHSBT, and preservation or organs in cases of uncontrolled non-heartbeating donation; Licensing requirements and organ transplantation; Appendix A - guidance on requirements for court approval; Appendix B - guidance for transplant teams and coroners in cases of potential uncontrolled non-heartbeating donation requiring steps to be taken for organ preservation; and, Glossary.
