Leave them certain — NHSBT’s urgent call on organ donation

NHS Blood and Transplant are asking families to do one simple thing: leave them certain.

In England, most adults are considered willing to donate organs unless they have opted out. In practice, families are still asked. When nobody knows what you wanted, that conversation lands in the worst possible moment — and too often the answer becomes no.

Margot’s story touched blood, stem cells and organ donation in our family. We know how hard those talks are. We also know how much clearer things are when the people who love you already know your decision.

Please:

  1. Record your organ donation decision on the NHS register.
  2. Tell your family what you want.

Don’t leave the people you love in doubt. Leave them certain.
