Organ Donation

You can also support the NHS and patients locally by considering becoming an organ donor.

Organ donation is when one person chooses to give an organ to save or improve the life of someone else.

Although the law around organ donation has changed to an opt out system in many parts of the UK, your family will always be consulted about whether you wanted to be an organ donor or not, and clinicians will never proceed with organ donation if your family or loved ones object.

It is therefore so important that you talk to your loved ones about your decision. Find out more: Talk to your loved ones - NHS Organ Donation
