Number of deceased donors per million population, 2007

Presumed consentInformed consent

What this means is one extra donor per year from each donating unit in Scotland

Recommendation 3

Urgent attention is required to resolve outstanding legal, ethical and professional issues in order to ensure that all clinicians are supported and able to work within a clear and unambiguous framework of good practice. Additionally, an independent UK-wide Donation Ethics Group should be established.

Organs for TransplantsEthical, legal and professional issues

Role of NHSDonation as part of EOL care

Recommendation 4a

All parts of the NHS 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 part of all end-of-life care when appropriate.

Recommendation 4b

Each Trust should have an identified clinical donation champion and a Trust donation committee to help achieve this.

Role of NHSClinical leads/ Donation Champions

Role of NHSMinimum referral criteria ??

Recommendation 5

Minimum notification criteria for potential organ donors should be introduced on a UK-wide basis.

early referral is

vital

• The DTC should be notified as soon as the decision to perform brainstem death tests has been made.

• The DTC should be notified as soon as the decision to withdraw active treatment has been made.

Donation CommitteeLocal governance

Recommendation 6

Donation rates in all Trusts should be monitored. Rates of potential donor identification, referral, approach to the family and consent for donation should be reported. The Trust Donation Committee should report to the Trust Board…….and the reports should be part of the assessment of Trusts through the relevant healthcare regulator.

Patients with catastrophic brain injury who never get to ICU,

Failure to test, Poor consent rates failure to optimise donor physiology, and donation after cardiac death.

Recommendation 7

BSD testing should be carried out in all patients where BSD is a likely diagnosis, even if organ donation is an unlikely outcome.
