Anything you want to know about organ donation, now is the time to ask the experts Sp OrganDonationNI
Most of us know how vital organ donation can be in saving the lives of some of the most vulnerable adults and children in Northern Ireland - there's a good chance you carry a donor card yourself.
Almost anyone over the age of 14 can be a donor , and it's crucial that we register if we can, as there are always more organs and more tissue needed than what is currently available to donate.To help save more lives, the law around organ donation in Northern Ireland is changing to a soft opt-out system. The Organ and Tissue Donation Act 2022, is known as ‘Dáithí’s Law’.
This means, in the event that organ donation is a possibility after you die, all adults in Northern Ireland will be deemed to have agreed to being an organ donor unless they choose to opt out or are in an excluded group. That's why we have teamed up with the Public Health Agency in Northern Ireland to allow Belfast Live readers to pose their own questions, which we will then put to the experts at the PHA.
