Ten year old Max received a life-saving heart transplant last year. Tune in to the #PrideOfBritain awards tonight at 8pm on ITV to see him receive the Child of Courage Award for his efforts to change organ donation law.

Max Johnson’s life was saved thanks to a new heart. He has since played a vital role in campaigning for a change in organ donation law. Today that law comes into effect. In this touching video the 12 year old pays an emotional tribute to the family who gave him the gift of life.

This #WorldHeartDay 🫀 around 270 people in the UK are waiting for a life-saving heart transplant. Please take two minutes today to confirm your organ donation decision. orlo.uk/zpZ8a

Last week at 5x15, Dr Rachel Clarke shared the moving story of Max and Keira and reflected upon the life-saving gift of organ donation, the subject of her acclaimed new book THE STORY OF A HEART. Catch up with Dr. Rachel Clarke's wonderful talk here: youtu.be/abWs8DT2sRw?si…

Huge thank you to Dr Rachel Clarke for joining us at #GoodGriefWeston last night to talk about her work and her wonderful new book 'The Story of a Heart'. Such a rich and moving discussion, I'm not sure there was a dry eye in the house.

With #MaskAbuse on the rise, this is difficult reading for people who rely on masks for safety. Masks should be protected in the law, just as religious clothing is. If you don't know why, read it with the substitutions in place – as an alternative no one would write! 1/

So delighted to see THE STORY OF A HEART picked as a ⁦Waterstones⁩ book of the year! #OrganDonation 💗🫀🫁

until the day i die i will never understand how this wasn’t the end of it

Apparently the NHS will pay the King’s duchy £11m over 15 years to rent a warehouse for ambulances...it is being charged 67% more than the previous tenants paid.

We now know, thanks to Channel 4 Dispatches and ⁦The Times and The Sunday Times⁩, that: Taxpayers’ money from gov depts and the NHS goes to the Duchy of Lancaster. It funded the late Queen and now the King. This private wealth helped settle Andrew’s legal case. telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2…

We wish we could eradicate ‘just a’ from NHS vocabulary. Every single person plays their part, and it couldn’t happen without everyone.

When vaccines blunted their impact, we forgot the fear of the disease, and in our comfort, people began to forget why we needed the vaccines in the first place.

Did you know you can register your #OrganDonation decision in the NHS app? It'll be the best thing you do today! #SaveLives #NHS
