Legal Transplants and Policy Transfers: Legislating for Organ Donation in a Devolved UK
Tue 28 June 2022
Ms Ruby Reed-Berendt, PhD Candidate and Research Associate on the BA/Leverhulme Trust funded Project, 'Legal Transplants and Policy Transfers: Legislating for Organ Donation in a Devolved UK', recently presented interim findings from the project at the Law Society of Scotland's Medical Law Sub-Committee.
This presentation followed a successful project roundtable at the Socio-Legal Studies Association (SLSA) Annual Conference, which was recently held at the University of York. Commencing in October 2021, the project is a collaboration between Professor John Harrington (Cardiff) and Professor Anne-Maree Farrell (Edinburgh), which explores the political and legislative processes surrounding the development of opt out systems for organ donation in the context of devolution, across the UK’s four nations.
