Become an organ donor
Sharon Brennan, one of White Tail’s Directors, was fortunate enough to receive a life-saving double lung transplant in 2013. This is why we are probably the only health consultancy to have a page on our website dedicated to organ donation.
We now have an opt-out system in England, Wales and Scotland, where consent is presumed unless you actively opt-out. But we know that many families still ask to override the automatic opt-in so you can make it easier for your loved ones by actively opting in yourself. But most importantly just talk to your family about what you want – the new opt-out system has actually seen donation decrease and one theory is that we have just stopped talking about it so at the worst time of their lives families just don't know what to do.
Here is the link to register to be an organ donor. And this page can help give you pointers on how to have that vital chat with your family so they know your wishes should the very worst happen.
Finally, Sharon has written candidly about the transplant process for The Guardian, which you can read here and here.
