Have you thought about it?

Most people would accept an organ if they needed one. Not surprising really. Yet only 48% of us have signed the NHS Organ Donor Register.

Last year 11 people died in Northern Ireland waiting for an organ transplant. By signing the register and talking to your family about your decision you could help save the lives of up to nine people.

Sign the Organ Donor Register

There are lots of simple ways to register. Or maybe you need to check if you are already registered.
