Organ Donation Week is one of the key points in the calendar year when the transplant community and members of the public join together to talk about, celebrate, and highlight the significance of organ donation. 1/3

[Devon & Cornwall Transplant Team @PlymTGT]

It's a key opportunity to educate and build knowledge, point people to information and remind people of the need to add their name to the Organ Donor Register and talk to their family. 2/3
