Organ Donation Week, 22nd - 28th September

Turn the sky pink this Organ Donation Week to remember those who died waiting for a transplant.

Sadly, someone will die today waiting for a transplant, and most of us would accept an organ if we needed one. It takes just two minutes for someone to confirm their decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register. https://www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/how-you-can-help/get-involved/tips-and-guidance/turn-the-skies-pink-for-organ-donation-week/

Did you know, one donor can save or transform up to nine lives through organ donation? By saying yes to organ donation, you could give someone else a second chance at life. All adults in England are now considered to have agreed to be an organ donor when they die unless they’ve recorded a decision not to donate or are in one of the excluded groups. It’s never been easier to show you support donation; simply update the details in your NHS App. https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/nhs-app-help-and-support/nhs-app-account-and-settings/organ-donation/
