The NADM is an association for Dutch physicians working in the medical
field of donors who donate blood, tissue, cells or organs.
The NADM was founded on November 22, 2010. The members of the NADM,
donor physicians, work in different
institutions that vary from blood establishments and tissue banks to
institutions for post-mortem tissues and organs.
The goals of the NADM are to improve the medical care of donors and to
optimize the quality of the donation process and donation product.
A
specific objective is to promote the independent assessment of donors
in order to ensure optimal protection of their health and prevention of
complications.
Furthermore, the Education Committee of the NADM is developing a
national training programme for donor physicians. In addition to this
the NADM organizes national educational events and
congresses.
The Association has formally applied for recognition of donor medicine
as a medical specialty within the domain of social medicine.
Affiliation with social medicine is appropriate because donor medicine
in principle deals with healthy persons, who should be kept healthy
(prevention).
