Human tissues donation training kits

Héma-Québec provides hospital centers with training kits on human tissue donation to make each center and each caregiver autonomous in the process of identifying and recommending potential tissue donors to Héma-Québec. Available at all times, these kits are a reference document for hospitals.


In-hospital referral procedure

Héma-Québec is accredited by SOFEDUC and recognizes 1 hour of continuing education for each professional who reads and views all the elements in the kit.

To validate this training, the trainee must complete an online evaluation. A certificate will be sent to the e-mail address in the weeks following the training.

Procedure for referring a donor under assessment for medical assistance in dying (MAID)

Héma-Québec offers tools for healthcare professionals accompanying people in the process of evaluating their request for medical assistance in dying. This training is not accredited, but the training kit offers readings and allows the viewing of several relevant elements.

Héma-Québec recognizes the inestimable value of the involvement of caregivers in the realization of each tissue donation. This is why we thank you in advance for the time you will devote to training and making this gift of life a reality in your professional practice. People waiting for a human tissue transplant rely on the generosity of donors and their families to help them regain their health. For their part, both patients and their families can find comfort in the act of tissue donation. All it takes is for a healthcare professional to make the connection between a potential donor and Héma-Québec to make a difference.
