Specialist nurses for Organ Donation, Diane Bowler and Alison Mitchell recently spent a morning at University Hospital Hairmyres, promoting and discussing organ and tissue donation with members of staff and the general public.
The morning generated lots of interest, and provided an opportunity for Diane and Alison to answer questions around donation as well as emphasising the important message around sharing your decisions around organ and tissue donation with your family and friends.
Whatever your decision on donation, record it on the NHS Organ Donor Register and tell your loved ones too. Knowing your decision will make it easier for them to ensure it is honoured.
A new organ and tissue resource page has been added to FirstPort, where staff will be able to find information, current guidance and useful documents which support organ and tissue donation.
For more information around organ and tissue donation or to register your decisions around donation, visit Organ Donation Scotland.
