Our organ and tissue donation promotional roadshow made its latest stop at University Hospital Hairmyres.
The roadshow is run by Specialist Nurses for Organ Donation, Diane Bowler and Alison Mitchell, and Tracey Black, Tissue Donor Coordinator.
At Hairmyres, they took the opportunity to share information around organ and tissue donation with members of staff and the general public – and there was plenty of discussion.
They spent the morning answering questions and sharing the important message of making and registering your organ and tissue donation decisions via the national NHS Organ Donor Register and sharing your choices with family and friends.
Diane said: “It’s really important that we continue to encourage our staff and the public to learn more about organ donation. It’s a very sensitive topic so it’s great to have an opportunity to answer any questions face to face.”
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 about organ and tissue donation or to register your decisions on donation, visit Organ Donation Scotland.
