Liver transplants at the Royal Free 

The Royal Free Hospital is a major transplantation centre. In fact, it is one of only seven hospitals in the UK that performs liver transplants.  

Our world class expertise ensures that we are a hospital of firsts: we performed the first UK liver transplant between a live adult donor and the patient. We remain one of the few UK hospitals to perform liver transplants involving live donors. We also perform kidney transplants.
