Pilot Project Report 2024
GOLD Quality Improvement
Through their lived experience of living kidney donation, GOLD’s peer phone buddies have a unique opportunity to empower, educate, and inspire Black patients. They take the complexity of living donation and explain it in a simple and practical way that gives hope.
The one-year pilot project featured in the report tested the introduction of a tailored community peer-led intervention at the start of the pre-emptive recipient pathway to change how we approach, discuss, and deliver living donation education and information to Black kidney patients.
