Encouraging people to join the NHS Organ Donor Register and encourage people to share their donation decision.
From Blood UK:
“Nine out of ten bereaved families support organ donation going ahead if they have previously discussed it. Families will always be involved before donation can go ahead, so that conversation could be the most powerful thing you ever do to help save lives. Make sure your family know what you want.
“We would encourage everyone to register their decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register and have a conversation about organ donation. If you are reading this after the Week has passed you can still start the conversation, perhaps with this article or with an Organ Donation Week activity you’ve noticed.”
