The 46th Annual British Transplant Games 2024 took place from August 1st to 4th in Nottingham. The event featured 26 different sports, allowing transplant recipients of all ages to engage in various sporting events. The Games aim to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation, encourage transplant recipients to maintain active lifestyles, and honour the memory of donors and their families.

Held in different host cities every summer, the Games bring together teams from hospitals across the UK to compete in a variety of sports. This four-day event conducted every year attracts around 1,000 transplant athletes and thousands of supporters.

Organized on behalf of Transplant Sport, the Games were established in 1978 by Maurice Slapak CBE, a consultant surgeon, who brought together his patients and other transplant recipients to hold the first Transplant Games in Portsmouth.
