New resource launched to provide information about organ donation
Researchers have recently produced a new resource to help address confusions and misconceptions around the new opt-out system of consent to organ donation.
The new online resource helps families to understand what donating organs means for an individual, support informed conversations about donation, and ensure people's decisions are better understood and respected. It helps by sharing the real experiences of people who have been involved in an organ donation conversation after their relative died and of the professionals who were involved in supporting families through such an incredibly difficult time.
It includes explanations from specialist nurses along with dedicated sections on ethnicity and faith, supporting communities where discussions about organ donation may be challenging and where misinformation has caused confusion.
