Deceased Donation Symposium du CCCF
Joignez-vous à nous virtuellement pour le volet consacré aux dons de personnes décédées, le mercredi 7 octobre 2020, organisé conjointement par la Société canadienne du sang, le Réseau Trillium pour le don de vie et le Programme de Recherche en Don et Transplantation du Canada. Le volet sur les dons décédés encourage la recherche scientifique sur le don et la transplantation d’organes ainsi que son application à la pratique des soins intensifs.
Le programme comprend :
- Une session internationale pour discuter du don et de la transplantation de personnes Covid-positives
- Des discussions simultanées sur les cas pédiatriques et les soins futurs des donneurs d’organes
- Une session plénière mettant en contraste le DCD et les non-donneurs dans les soins de fin de vie pour adultes
- Travaux novateurs sur l’utilisation de l’apprentissage machine pour optimiser le don d’organes
- Une présentation de cas et une discussion sur les défis posés par les dons de personnes décédées

Sean Dicks is a clinical psychologist who has 20 years’ experience supporting both families of organ donors and transplant recipients. While it is rare for him to have contact with a donor family and recipient linked to the same organ donation-transplantation event, his contact with families who have lived experience with organ donation on the one hand, and patients who have received transplants on the other hand has provided opportunities to explore how their journeys become linked when they attempt to make sense of and find meaning in their respective crises.
