Did you know? 🧐
Organ donation will only ever be considered if every effort to save a patient has been unsuccessful. Only at this point is a referral made to the separate Organ Donation Team. Learn more at https://t.co/SunLsGOSjt #havethechat #YesIDonate

This #OrganDonationWeek we’re encouraging families to get together and talk about organ donation💬

[Opt For Life @OptFLFoundation]

This #OrganDonationWeek, take a heart walk!❤️

Mould your daily exercise routine - be it a run, walk or cycle - into the shape of a heart, and share it with @OrganDonationNI

Let's raise awareness of organ donation and get the conversation going among friends and family.

[Opt For Life @OptFLFoundation]

Did you know that, in Northern Ireland, there are around 115 people currently waiting for a transplant.

Sadly each year around 10-15 people will die waiting for their ‘gift for life’.

Consider having a conversation with friends and family this #OrganDonationWeek.

[Opt For Life @OptFLFoundation]

Today marks the beginning of #OrganDonationWeek and with it an opportunity to encourage everyone in the family, whatever their age, to have a conversation about organ donation.

It’s a conversation with the power to save lives.
