Organ Donation

English law on organ donation changed in spring 2020.  Read how these changes may affect you.

Click the Organ Donor Register link for the NHS website with information on organ donation,
The site offers four options:

  • Register to be a donor

  • Register not to be a donor

  • Amend your registration

  • Withdraw from the register

If you are registered as a donor, consider carrying an organ donation card. 

  • An Organ Donor Card is a great way to show you’re committed to saving lives.
  • You can carry your card in your purse or wallet as a symbol of your decision to help others.
  • However, you don’t need to carry an Organ Donor Card for your organs to be donated though as medical staff will always consult the NHS Organ Donor Register if your organs could be used to help others when you die.
  • Before the removal of organs takes place, NHS Blood and Transplant would ask your family to support your decision to donate and to provide important information about you.
