Organ Donation Week: 18th-24th September
This year’s Organ Donation Week focuses on children and young people for the first time. This year concentrates on how lonely it can feel living with an illness. From September, children in secondary schools will be offered lessons on organ donation, and there will be promotion for the decision for young drivers to be registered as organ donors. https://www.blood.co.uk/news-and-campaigns/the-donor/latest-stories/it-s-organ-donation-week/
Since 2020, all adults have been given the ‘opt out’ decision on organ donation, but you can register your preference so that your family are aware of your wishes. To find out more about organ donation and to support Organ Donation Week, please see the link below.
