About your choices on the NHS Organ Donor Register

The NHS Organ Donor Register is a secure database that keeps a record of your organ donation decision.

Below are all the choices you have available to you.

Before you start

  1. Whatever you decide, please talk to your loved ones. They will always be consulted, and can overturn your decision if they aren’t sure what you want
  2. Organ donation in some parts of the UK has changed. See how the changes affect you
  3. To donate only some organs, register a decision and record your preferences.
  4. Withdrawing your name from the NHS Organ Donor Register is not the same as recording a decision not to donate. Read about what withdrawal means
