Donor Coordinator Network
A community of practice for donor coordinators who support deceased donation
In 2020, Canadian Blood Services established a national Donor Coordinator Network. This national community of practice aims to support donor coordinators in offering deceased donation as a standard component of end-of-life care by continuing to:
- Foster community building and national collaboration
- Strengthen clinical and social support for a small and specialized community of healthcare professionals
- Provide resources and opportunities to share and learn about emerging cases/issues
- Support national development and implementation of consistent clinical strategies and approaches
The network offers:
- Educational Webinars (linked below)
- E-newsletters
Are you a donor coordinator interested in joining this network? If so, please contact: DonorCoordinators@blood.ca
