Making your organ donation decision

To manage your decision using the NHS App:

  1. Go to Your health.
  2. Select Your health choices.
  3. Select Manage your organ donation decision.
  4. If you have not registered a decision yet, follow the on-screen instructions.
  5. If you have registered a decision previously, you'll see your current decision details. There are options to confirm or change your decision.

Keeping your registration up to date will help your family, should organ donation be possible.
