Tissue governance

Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust is licensed by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) to conduct a range of activities related to the removal, storage and use of human organs, tissues and cells ("relevant material").

Tissue governance describes the frameworks that have been established at the Trust to ensure that all activities conducted under HTA licence are carried out appropriately, in line with regulatory requirements and with any consent given.  

These web pages provide information about these activities for the benefit of our staff and patients to:

  • describe the legal and regulatory requirements which we must meet
  • describe how we meet those requirements
  • provide reassurance to our patients that any organs, tissues or cells will be handled sensitively and appropriately, in line with the consent given

You can navigate through the tissue governance web pages by using the links on the right-hand side of the page.
