Share your decision
Whatever you decide, it’s important to make sure your donation decision is known to your family and friends
Everyone encouraged to have a conversation this Organ Donation Discussion Day
Wednesday 11 December is Organ Donation Discussion Day – an opportunity for everyone to consider their decision around organ and tissue donation, and to share this with loved ones.
Families will always be consulted if organ donation is a possibility, so it is important to leave them certain about what you want. The best way to do this is by recording your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register and having a conversation. Only 50% of families agree to donation going ahead if they don’t know what their loved one wanted, but this rises to 90% when their decision is known.
Each organ donor could save up to 9 lives, so have a life-saving conversation today!
