Organ and tissue donation – resources to support GPs

GPs play a pivotal role in increasing organ and tissue donation rates within Australia by prompting the discussion with patients about signing up to the Australian Organ Donor Register

Having the support and guidance of a trusted GP is an important way to help people to consider and make a decision about organ and tissue donation. 

Donate Life has a number of resources for health professionals, including clinical guidelines and a range of professional education and training that can assist GPs and their practices to have a discussion about organ and tissue donation with patients and families.
