Earlier this year, Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust celebrated 10 years since performing Europe's first non-beating heart transplant, known as donation after circulatory death (DCD).

DCD heart transplantation was made possible thanks to research carried out by our clinicians and funded by Royal Papworth Charity. It has meant hundreds more people in the UK (and many more globally) have received the life-saving gift of a new heart.

In this BBC One Show feature, you will:
- see special footage from inside an operating theatre during a DCD heart transplant
- hear from one of our surgeons, Mr Rafiq
- meet James, a doctor himself and a dad-of-three who had a heart transplant at our hospital

Thank you to all organ donors, without whom none of this work performed by our amazing teams would ever be possible. ????
