What this meansis thatunless youhavealready expresseda decision nottodonate, either in conversation with yourfamily oron theNHSOrganDonor Register,itwillbe considered that youare willing to bean organdonor. However,it’simportant to know that yourfamilywill alwaysbeconsultedbefore organdonation goesahead,and clinicians wouldneverproceed if your lovedonesobject.Soit's crucial to talk to yourfamily sothey know what youwant to happeninthe eventofyour death. 'Leave Them Certain'isthis year'scall to action.
