August 2012From the Top<strong>Hospital</strong> NewsWith all the sport around thissummer, I thought I would take part ina little sporting activity of my own.With other members of <strong>Papworth</strong>Staff, I took part in the NHS SailingRegatta which took place in April in theSolent.Despite the terrible weather, the boatI was in won the <strong>Papworth</strong> trophy outof the three <strong>Papworth</strong> boats. This wasquite an achievement, given not onlythe weather but also the fact that thecleat broke off our boat!I can see from the other articles inthis issue of <strong>Transplant</strong> <strong>Times</strong> thatothers have been inspired to takepart in events too, and there is a realsporting theme in this issue: from KarenHodgson taking part in the LondonMarathon; our successful <strong>Transplant</strong>A message from our DirectorViewing our services through the eyesof our patients was the idea behinda very successful afternoon here at<strong>Papworth</strong> in July. The <strong>Transplant</strong> PatientInvolvement Event, was held as partof 2012 <strong>Transplant</strong> Week and we werepleased to welcome 60 patients andtheir carers.The discussion focussed on thefour areas of our service, namelyassessment; being on the waiting list;Games participants to our Lands End toJohn O’Groats cycling endeavour. Goodluck to all.Diane Goodwin<strong>Transplant</strong> Directorate Managerthe operation and time as an inpatientand finally post transplant care. Theaim was to identify strengths as well asaspects of the service which could beimproved. Also discussed at the eventwas the idea of setting up a patientsupport group, which was warmlywelcomed. This and the other feedbackfrom the event will be displayed inthe TCCU waiting area, with updatespublished in future editions of the<strong>Transplant</strong> <strong>Times</strong>. Thank you to thepeople who kindly gave up theirafternoon to help us in this way.As you know nothing stands stillfor long at <strong>Papworth</strong> and a key partof keeping us at the forefront of thetransplant world is our commitmentto research and innovation. Despite itssuccess as a treatment, the shortage ofdonor organs still limits transplantation.There are a number of exciting researchprojects which are in development tobegin to address this limitation andover the coming issues of <strong>Transplant</strong><strong>Times</strong> I hope to outline these projectsto you.Steven TsuiClinical Director, <strong>Transplant</strong> ServicesProfessor John Wallwork CBE; RobertBurgin; Pam Blomiley; StephenBridge; Robin Cushing (Chairman ofthe NZC) and Sir Terence English30 years ofsupportMore than fifty members of theNorfolk Zipper Club travelled to<strong>Papworth</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> on Tuesday 10July to mark 30 years of support forpatients from Norfolk undergoingheart surgery at <strong>Papworth</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>.Robin Cushing, chairman of theNorfolk Zipper Club, said: “Ourmembers were delighted to attenda lunch to celebrate 30 years ofthe Norfolk Zipper Club with ourfriends at <strong>Papworth</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>.

<strong>Transplant</strong> <strong>Times</strong> | Newsletter for transplant patients and staffDoctor’s NotesMany of you will have seen therecent publicity around the WelshAssembly’s approval of the new donorlegislation for Wales. The publicationof this legislation, and the subsequentexpected changes in the law heraldsa new era for the UK, which has neverpreviously had presumed consent (ieopt out) in operation before.What does this change actually meanin clinical practice? Whilst as written,this law represents a significant changein the previous approach of seekingpermission from families at the timeof donation, in reality all doctors willcontinue to discuss at length withdonor families the possibility of organdonation. It would be a very unusualsituation that doctors would go againstthe wishes of the relatives.So does this help patients waiting fortransplantation? The projections fromWales would suggest that this changemay yield an increase in donationrate of approximately 25%. Withcurrent waiting list mortalities sadlystill running at an unacceptably high25%, it would seem a very attractiveprospect. If this increase in donationis achievable then we may have abetter chance to help more patients inneed of transplantation. Whilst I am alittle circumspect about the projectednumbers, I do think that this approachhas merits in that it raises the level ofawareness of organ donation for all thecitizens of Wales and as such it is a verygood thing.In England at the moment there isno presumed consent although therehas been extensive discussion. Anumber of other donation initiativesare being examined to address thecritical shortfall. In both heart and lungtransplantation the pursuit of perfusionsystems to help to re-condition orsupport organs are being studied andwe have a number of studies startingsoon.We hope that these developmentswill produce more donor organs fortransplantation and help to addressthe mismatch between the numbers ofrecipients and usable organs.As always it is key that we eachindividually continue to ‘bang the drum’to maintain a high profile for organdonation.As you will see I was greatly helpedby Dr Owain Davies (expert in all thingsWelsh) in the preparation of this article.Jas ParmarConsultant <strong>Transplant</strong> Physician<strong>Transplant</strong> Continuing Care News3With the Olympics in full swing itcreates a chance to look at our ownlifestyles to ensure we are all doingas much as is physically possible tomaintain as healthy a lifestyle.

August 2012Dietic NewsNutrition in sportWith the Olympics underway, we are sure you are keen to get into sport and exercise routines.Whilst not many of us are training like elite athletes there are some dietary things to consider.Fuel upCarbohydrates - bread, cereal, pasta,potatoesExercising muscles rely oncarbohydrate as their main sourceof fuel. The amount you needwill depend on your trainingprogramme. In general, the moreintense the training programme,the more carbohydrate you needto include in your diet. A diet low incarbohydrate can lead to a lack ofenergy, loss of concentration anddelayed recovery.What about protein?Meat, fish, dairy, beans, pulsesProtein is required for buildingand repairing muscle and plays animportant role in how the bodyresponds to exerciseProviding energy requirementsare met, a healthy diet will certainlyprovide enough protein to meetrequirements for your exerciseprogramme.FatTotal amount of fat will dependon your total energy requirements,body composition goals and sport.Healthy eating guidelines should befollowed which focus on consumingmoderate amounts of monounsaturated(olive and rapeseedoils) and omega 3 fats (oily fish -salmon, mackerel) and a reductionin intake of saturated fats.Think fluidDehydration affects bothphysical and mental performance.The choice of drink depends onintensity, duration of exercise andyour training goals. Water is fine ifyour exercise is of low to moderateintensity that lasts less than anhour and sweat loss is low. Isotonicsports drinks are for sessions thatare moderate to hard, that lastlonger than one hour, and whensweat losses are greater.Carol Holder & Carolyn MayDieticiansFive goals of sports nutrition1. Eat a varied and well-balanced diet.2. Eat plenty of carbohydrate-rich foods.3. Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day - fresh, frozen dried, canned all count.4. Start refuelling with carbohydrate foods and fluids as soon as possible after exercise.5. Ensure you are well hydrated by drinking throughout the day as well as before, during and after exercise.Facts and figures January 2012 to June 2012Number of patientassessmentsHeart 47Lung 109Total 156Number of outpatient clinicattendancesHeart* 1307Lung 984Total 2291Total number oftransplants and VADsHeart 13Heart-lung 1Single lung 6Bilateral lung 9Total 29VADs 7*This includes all heart, heart failure, andVAD clinic attendances4


<strong>Transplant</strong> <strong>Times</strong> | Newsletter for transplant patients and staffMail BoxPhysiotherapy News5From mobilityscooter tomarathonrunnerWhen I wastold that havinga heart transplantwould give mea better qualityof life I couldn’tbegin to imaginewhat a difference it would make.Now, with my third anniversaryfast approaching, I often find ithard to imagine how my life wasback then; how climbing one flightof stairs was so difficult, whenrecently I managed to climb all 528steps of St Paul’s Cathedral.Walking short distances wasa monumental effort, so it wasincredible to me that at the end ofa 100 mile walk last year, I wantedto walk even more, not less. Thefastest I used to move was in mymobility scooter, now I run. Backthen I could never have imaginedthat I would have completed a halfmarathonas part of my training forthe 2012 London Marathon.I pinch myself to think that I’ma long distance runner when notso long ago the only thing I couldrun was a bath. It’s not just the bigachievements that amaze me: it’sthe small things too, such as beingable to carry the heavy shoppingbags back from the shops insteadof giving those ones to my wife.Of course, this hasn’t allhappened overnight: I have hadto work hard at becoming fit, andapart from a few hiccups alongthe way, I have remained relativelyhealthy since my transplant. Asfor my next challenge, a 10,000ftskydive beckons, and that wassomething I never thought I wouldever be able to do.Kieran SandwellOlympic Games 2012: be inspired,be activeThis summer the London 2012Olympics will create a hive of activity.The media will be flooded withinspirational stories of people whoare taking part. This is the perfectopportunity to get active and boostyour fitness and there are so manyschemes in local areas to encouragepeople to find a physical activity thatsuits them.IdeasThe internet is already crammed withideas and downloadable apps to helpyou look at your lifestyle and to thinkabout your levels of activity.The NHS website: www.nhs.uk/livewell/olympics is an excellentwebsite with links to daily fitness tips,programmes to determine how fit youare, videos of new activities and thebenefits of sports.ExerciseRegular exercise is really importantfor your health. To maintain goodhealth, adults need to do a minimumof 150 minutes of moderate-intensityaerobic activity every week (usually fivesessions of 30 minutes per week).It can be hard to fit exercise in arounda hectic lifestyle but with so manyoptions available there is somethingout there for everyone - you just haveto realise the benefits exercise can giveyou and make it a priority to fit it in!How about:• Get inspired with the Olympic flame- walk that mile - several torchbearers have had heart or lungtransplants• Take up a new hobby or physicalactivity• Join the <strong>Transplant</strong> Games TeamYou can discuss any ideas with aphysio at your next clinic appointment(ask at reception for the physio onBleep 287).

August 2012Pharmacy Notes<strong>Hospital</strong> NewsGeneric mycophenolateWhy are patients being changed to generic mycophenolate?The NHS has one pot of money whichit has to share between all patientsthat require treatment: therefore whena medication becomes available at amuch lower cost we have to considerwhether it is safe and appropriate foruse. Generic mycophenolate has beenavailable and used in other transplantpatients since 2009 with no reportedproblems. Hence the <strong>Papworth</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>transplant team has now decided touse generic mycophenolate for ourtransplant patients.What is the risk?On switching from Cellcept ® togeneric mycophenolate, there maybe a small change in the level ofmycophenolate in your blood. Thegeneric versions contain the sameactive ingredient as Cellcept ® , but themethod of making the tablet or thenon-active ingredients (the ingredientsthat are there to make it tablet shapedor coloured etc) may be different. Thesedifferences may affect the way that yourbody deals with the medication (eg byincreasing or reducing the absorptionfrom the stomach), thus 1g Cellcept ®may not give the same blood levels as1g of generic mycophenolate. Howeverexperience indicates that the change islevel is small and has not been reportedto increase the risk of rejection.What should you look out for?Changing from Cellcept ® is notexpected to cause you any problems:however if you notice any changes inyour routine monitoring, such as weightand temperature, (and blows if lungtransplant) please alert the transplantteam. Note: if the swap causes aslight increase in the level getting intoyour body this may cause nausea ordiarrhoea which should settle in a fewdays.Once you have changed to thegeneric mycophenolate, we ask thatyou remain with the same ‘brand’.Multiple changes between genericpreparations will mean your levelsImportant informationOn switching, alert the transplantteam if there is any change inyour routine monitoring or youexperience nausea or diarrhoea.Please ensure that your GPcontinues to prescribe by the brandname, rather than just writing‘mycophenolate mofetil’.Do not change between genericpreparations. Once you havechanged from Cellcept ® to ageneric, stick with the same one.may alter each time you change. Thetransplant team at <strong>Papworth</strong> are nowprescribing the Teva brand (Myfenax ® ),due to its easy availability in primarycare.The consultants will only changeyou from Cellcept ® to the genericpreparation at a time that isappropriate to do so. Some patientsmay need to continue on Cellcept ® : ifthis is the case for you, your consultantwill let you know.Heather Chapman<strong>Transplant</strong> Pharmacist<strong>Transplant</strong>patientinvolvementeventMore than 60 transplant patientsand their carers/relatives, came to<strong>Papworth</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> on 13 July totake part in the <strong>Transplant</strong> PatientInvolvement Event.
