Did you know? 🧐 Organ donation will only ever be considered if every effort to save a patient has been unsuccessful. Only at this point is a referral made to the separate Organ Donation Team. Learn more at organdonationni.info #havethechat #YesIDonate

Did you know that, in Northern Ireland, there are around 115 people currently waiting for a transplant. Sadly each year around 10-15 people will die waiting for their ‘gift for life’. Consider having a conversation with friends and family this #OrganDonationWeek.
