Organ donation as part of end of life care The paradigm shift X Donation should not be viewed as something optional, something to be inflicted upon patients and families after end of life care for the benefit of a third party. Rather, it should be considered to be a fundamental component of end of life care and not denied to patients because they are dying in the wrong place or in the wrong way.
Local donation champions Advocates for change All parts of the National Health Service must embrace organ donation as a usual, not an unusual event. Local policies, constructed around national guidelines, should be put in place. Discussions about donation should be part of all end-of-life care when appropriate. Specialist Nurse for Organ Donation (SN-OD) Clinical Lead for Organ Donation (CLOD) Each hospital should have an identified clinical donation champion, an assigned specialist nurse for organ donation and a Trust donation committee to help achieve this.
