Organ Donation Week is a celebration of organ donation across the UK, and this year’s event is a great opportunity for donor families, transplant patients, the wider NHS and organisations to reinforce the importance of organ donation.
In Dorset alone, 55 people are waiting for that call that may save their life.
Over 6,000 people at any given time in the UK are on the transplant waiting list.
