We are pleased to share the upcoming webinar on the transition of paediatric transplant recipients from paediatric to adult care, organised by the Latin American Pediatric Transplant Network (Red Latinoamericana de Trasplante Pediàtrico) and coordinated by our new supporting partner, Hospital de Pediatría SAMIC “Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan” (Buenos Aires, Argentina) Hospital Garrahan.

Paloma Martinez – Paediatric Nurse specialised in Solid Organ Transplantation at Hospital Universitario La Paz in Madrid (Spain) and member of the TransplantChild nursing team – will explore this very crucial stage in the transplant journey, which requires coordinated support and continuity of care.

She will present the RETTOS Transition Programme for adolescent transplant recipients run at La Paz University Hospital, sharing the experience gained through its development and implementation in clinical practice, including the different sessions of the “18 to your 18’s” educational programme.

🗓️ Join us on Monday, 19th October, at 18:00 Spanish time/13.00 Argentinian time.

📸 Meet some of the experts behind ERN TransplantChild at ESPN 2026!

From 30th September to 3rd October 2026, specialists from our network's centres joined colleagues in Bordeaux (France) for the 58th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology (ESPN).

💙🧡 These snapshots showcase the expertise within ERN TransplantChild and the contributions of some of its members to the European paediatric nephrology community, particularly in improving care for children with rare and complex kidney conditions.

🩺 The scientific programme explored advances in children's kidney health, including genetic and tubular disorders, glomerular diseases, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and kidney transplantation. The pre-congress programme featured dedicated courses on therapeutic apheresis and kidney transplantation, as well as a course on paediatric nephrology nursing for allied healthcare professionals who care for children with kidney diseases.

Research also took centre stage, with abstracts presented as e-posters and oral presentations, creating opportunities to share findings and discuss new evidence.

💫 European Donation Day 2026 | "Sharing lives"

What if one decision could change someone else’s life? Or even many more?

That is the message at the heart of European Donation Day, an annual occasion established by EDQM - Council of Europe in 1996 and celebrated every year since, dedicated to raising awareness of the life-saving and life-changing power of organ, tissue and cell donation.
It honours donors and their families, recognises the commitment of healthcare professionals and reminds us that behind every transplant there are individual stories, families and communities.

The official opening ceremony will take place this evening in Cyprus – this year’s host country – at Medieval Castle Square in Paphos Harbour. The event will also mark two important milestones for Cyprus: 40 years of organ transplantation and 30 years of bone marrow transplantation.

Every year, tens of thousands of new patients join waiting lists across Council of Europe member states — far more than the number of people who receive a transplant.

💙🧡 TransplantChild supports and promotes European Donation Day, because raising awareness can help turn conversations into informed decisions — and informed decisions into hope and life-changing opportunities.

So, how can you get involved?
Make the decision. Make it known.
Talk to your family and loved ones about your wishes.
🫶 That conversation could make all the difference for many other people.

💫 TransplantChild was represented at the 49th National Congress of the “Italian Society for Organ and Tissue Transplantation” (SITO), held in Bari from 27th to 29th September 2026.

🗣️ Dr. Elisa Benetti - TransplantChild Representative for Azienda Ospedale-Università Padova and Technical Coordinator of the network’s Clinical Audits - presented two recent collaborative studies developed within the European Reference Network: “Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Solid Organ and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Survey among Member Centres of ERN TransplantChild” – published in “Pediatric Transplantation” - and “Solid Organ Transplantation after Childhood Cancer”.

Both works sparked interest among participants and prompted questions and discussion, offering a valuable opportunity to strengthen the presence of the network in the field of transplantation, sharing its collaborative work and its achievements with the wider transplant community.

Dr. Benetti was joined by Dr. Maria Sangermano and paediatric nurse Elena Marinelli, responsible for the implementation of the transition programme for paediatric kidney transplant recipients moving from paediatric to adult care at Padua University Hospital.

📣 We are very proud to share that TransplantChild position paper “Vaccination in Paediatric Transplant Candidates and Recipients – Part 1: General Recommendations” has been published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition.

This work was developed by a panel of 35 multidisciplinary experts from 12 European countries within the network, with expertise in haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and solid organ transplantation (SOT), involving also specialists in infectious diseases, immunology, paediatric surgery and neonatology.

The paper reports 28 recommendations addressing the key areas of:
✅ Immunisation adequacy
✅ Optimal timing for vaccination
✅ Safety of vaccinations after transplantation
✅ Risk of rejection related to immunisation
✅ Use of live vaccines after transplantation
✅ Vaccination of healthcare workers and close contacts
✅ Additional vaccinations when traveling to endemic areas

❓Can we teach the immune system to accept a transplanted organ?
This was at the heart of last week discussion on Las Mañanas de RNE, broadcast by Spanish National Radio.

Dr. Francisco Hernández Oliveros - ERN TransplantChild Coordinator and Head of Pediatric Transplantation at Hospital Universitario La Paz in Madrid (Spain) - and Dr. Antonio Pérez Martínez - Head of Pediatric Hemato-Oncology at the same hospital - shared the work behind OneTrasplant4Life, the project they co-lead.

They are exploring an innovative approach which brings together solid-organ transplantation and donor-derived hematopoietic stem cells with an ambitious goal: helping the recipient’s immune system develop tolerance towards the transplanted organ, thus reducing organ rejection and the long-term burden of immunosuppressive treatment.

🎙️ The interview offers an accessible look at immune tolerance and the challenges of immunosuppression and it emphasises the need for further research to bring innovative approaches like this closer to patients.

Will the new organ last a lifetime, as the project's name suggests? It's too early to tell, but the results so far are promising, especially for patients who faced a grim prognosis.

📺 And tonight, Dr. Hernández Oliveros and Dr. Pérez Martínez will also be guests on Spanish television programme La Revuelta, airing at 21:40 CET on La 1 Tve and RTVE Play.
