Journeys is a project and exhibition that explores the experiences of individuals impacted by organ donation and transplantation, visualised through maps and objects.

The project, developed by the NIHR Blood and Transplant Research Unit in Organ Donation and Transplantation at Cambridge and Newcastle Universities and in collaboration with community publishers Foundation Press, invited participants to create maps to illustrate their unique journeys.

Displayed in Freeman Hospital, near the internal entrance to the Institute of Transplantation. A staff and patient engagement workshop took place alongside the launch of the display in the hospital.

Partner or facilitated by:

National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), Blood and Transplant Research Unit (BTRU) in Organ Donation and Transplantation and North East Museums.
