Pass it On for National Transplant Week

With three people dying every day whilst waiting for organs, National Transplant Week is the annual UK-wide awareness week to increase understanding of organ donation and encourage more people to join the NHS Organ Donor Register. For the third year it is being led by NHS Blood and Transplant in collaboration with a number of leading voluntary and health organisations.

This year’s Transplant Week runs from Monday 9th to Sunday 15th July. The campaign theme is ‘Pass it On’ - focusing not just on signing up to the Register but also the importance of passing on your donation wishes to family and friends so they know what you would like to happen after your death.
