TransplantChild Operational Areas
In order to improve coordination of HCPs in the network, a new structure by Operational Areas has been implemented. These Operational Areas facilitate the integration and participation of the members of the network in standardised activities and will ease their management and follow-up, as well as enable the ERN to reach out to local audience.
Each Operational Area will be supported by an Area Manager who will assist the HCPs in the area to ensure that they achieve the objectives established within the region.
