Eliza is someone who is changing the world of organ transplantation through her lived experience, to build community while improving patient experience and long-term psychosocial outcomes. Based in Cornwall, England, Eliza is the founder, creator and host of the successful podcast 'Transplant Chats with Eliza' that has gathered over 7,000 listens worldwide and is built on the values of Community, Empowerment and Education. In the first podcast season Eliza interviewed fellow transplant recipients, before the second season saw her partner with the Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge, one of the leading transplant hospitals in the world, with the third season focusing on the donor families and importance of organ donation. The podcast was inspired by Eliza's lived experience of transplantation, and wanting to create a community and resource for other people receiving or donating organs. In 2010, Eliza contracted Swine Flu, causing pneumonia, subsequent respiratory arrest and was put into an induced coma. While she was in the coma, the doctors discovered she had a rare genetic heart condition called Danon's Disease that caused cardiomyopathy. Within 2 years Eliza had her first pacemaker at only 14 years old, and by 19 years old was in end stage Heart Failure, experiencing extreme symptoms and decreased quality of life, and was told she would die without a transplant. After a significant amount of time in hospital, a second pacemaker, being added to the transplant list before being moved to the urgent transplant list, she received a new heart. Eliza became one of only 108 people (from 2015-2020) to have a pioneering DCD (Donation after Circulatory Death) Heart transplant at a leading transplant hospital in Cambridge in 2019. Post transplant, Eliza identifies as having a disability as she has an invisible illness that does impact her daily activities, and actively writes, speaks and posts about this on social media. Her content and podcast have allowed her to connect with people at different stages of their transplant journey as a life coach, and inspired further studies in counselling. Eliza's experience of transplant made her aware of the ways to improve resources, support, community, patient experiences and outcomes for transplant recipients and families, and that has become her driving force. From meeting the Queen to speaking at multiple conferences and professional education days across the UK to being invited to parliament house to meet leading transplant researchers and surgeon's, Eliza is a key figure in connecting the transplant community with the people that can benefit from hearing lived experience. Eliza is passionate about creating greater opportunities for long term psychosocial peer-to-peer growth and support in the transplant community, and plans to design workshops and programs to be supported by and delivered across a range of organisations and health services worldwide.
