From Spring 2023, the law around organ donation is changing to an opt-out system. 

The new law will be known as Dáithí’s Law and means, in the event that organ donation is a possibility after you die, it will be considered that you agree to being an organ donor unless you have registered a decision not to donate, or are in an excluded group.

If you do not wish to become an organ donor then you will need to opt out on the NHS Organ Donor Register.

Organ donation is a personal decision and you will still have a choice if you wish to donate or not.

Until Dáithí’s Law comes into effect, keep talking about #OrganDonation and sign the NHS Organ Donor Register.

Whatever you decide, please remember to talk to loved ones about your decision so they will know what you would have wanted.
