You've opted out. Now tell your family
Thanks for registering your decision. It's a great start, but it's also important you tell your family about your choice as they will still be involved when the time comes.
What happens now?
- We will add your details and decision to the NHS Organ Donor Register
- You should now talk to your family, and make sure they know what you want
Tell them in person
Tips to help you start the conversation with family and friends
Step 1
Find the right time to talk. Perhaps in the car or while sharing the washing up.
Step 2
Explain that you have registered your decision not to donate on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
Step 3
Tell them how you arrived at your decision, and explain that they can record their own decision, whatever that may be, on the Register.
