Ensuring blood and organ donation decisions are recorded

Since October 2021, patients’ blood and organ donation preferences are no longer being processed through GP practices. For practices using an old patient registration form, it is important not to include questions about blood and organ donation preferences in it. This will avoid the risk of a patient recording preferences on forms that are not registered by NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT). Practices can ensure they are up to date in this  by using the nationally funded Register with a GP surgery online service.
