ABSTRACT Objective describe the multi-professional team's perception of nurses' competences in liver transplantation programs. Method: descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through a questionnaire. Participants were 12 professionals of the liver transplantation team of a reference hospital. For result interpretation, the thematic analysis technique was employed. Results: the professionals assessed the competences employed by nurses as proactive, autonomous, creative, humanized, capable of teamwork, decision-making and conflict management. Conclusion: this study made it possible to demonstrate that members of the multi-professional team perceived nurses as professionals capable of coordinating and integrating the skills "knowing, doing, being and co-existing", enabling quality care for candidates and receivers of liver transplants, as well as for their families and/or caregivers in all perioperative phases.
