NHS – Blood & Organ Donation
Introduction and information on organ donation and how it works.
NHS Blood and Transplant Donor Line
Donor Line: 0300 123 23 23
By donating your organs after you die, you will help save and transform the lives of desperately ill people. Each donor is precious as fewer than 5,000 people each year in the UK die in circumstances where they can become a donor. So if you want to make a real difference join the NHS Organ Donor Register and talk about your donation decision with family and friends. Letting them know what you've decided now makes it much easier for them to support your decision to be a donor.
Body, Organ and Tissue Donation
Human tissue has many different uses including transplantation, teaching, medical research and display in public places such as museums. There are many different types of human tissue including: skin, body parts, organs, stem cells and bone and they have different uses. The HTA has an important role in making sure human tissue is used safely and ethically, and with proper consent. On this link you can find out more about tissue donation for different purposes and the role of HTA regulation.
