Islanders are being urged to speak to their loved ones about organ donation

Islanders are being urged to speak to their loved ones about organ donations.

There are currently 21,030 islanders registered on the Organ Donation Register.

However on July 1 the organ donation system in Jersey is changing.

From that date it will be assumed that adults give permission for their organs to be used unless they say otherwise.

If you do not want to donate your organs when you die then you need to contact the National Organ Donation Register which will record your wishes.

You can contact the Register at: www.organdonation.nhs.uk or by phoning 0300123 2323.

The law change was agreed by the States Assembly in April 2018.
