When someone receives a second opportunity of living a life restricted previously by organ failure - the gratitude, love & thankfulness from the one whose life has been saved and their family, to the precious donor and their family is never ending.....

Myth 3 “I’m too old they won’t want my organs” Truth This is one of the saddest myths. You really are never too old to donate. The oldest organ donor is 104, donated their corneas. Liver is 85, Kidney is 85, lung is 68, and heart is 65. Share Your Wishes NHS Organ Donation💗🫀🫁 NHS Blood+Transplant

4 year old Georgia was diagnosed with a serious heart condition at less than a week old and will need a #HeartTransplant within the next 2 years. Her Mum Jodie is urging families to discuss #OrganDonation. Please #ShareYourWishes with your loved ones 💕 peterboroughtoday.co.uk/health/mum-pet…

Donation Myth 4 It’s alright I’ve put it in my Will. Truth Wills aren’t read until the person has legally been registered as dead. Organ donation is broached before you sadly die, and must happen within minutes of death. Not to be too graphic this is so organs can still be used.

It was a real privilege to see the professionalism and caring of the Team ACCU on BBC News (UK) this week. Honoured to count them as my colleagues and friends. Hopefully shielding will end soon, I can return to help out. You look exhausted, but undefeated. Stay strong, stay safe.

So back to work tonight. Off shielding since October. Excited, mixed with a little trepidation. Will I still be able to do the job, more importantly will anyone laugh at my preshielding haircut!! Team ACCU Barts Health wish me luck, wish the patients even more

Just want to thank my donor today, did my first piece of DIY in over 10 years. It’s not perfect but so much better than previously. Sanded, primed, wood repaired, undercoat and painted. The little things are so important, and every day is for living.Share Your Wishes NHS Organ Donation💗🫀🫁

Heart goes out to the people whom sadly died pre-transplant. Well done to all transplant services for getting the numbers back up again so quickly. Stay safe in this third wave, the vaccine has weakened the link with illness, it hasn’t broken it completely bbc.co.uk/news/health-57…

I don’t normally tweet, but the horrendous events of what happened in Israel was truly evil. Hammas actions are just vile, I just hope civilians, children, innocents on all sides can be as protected as much as possible. “An eye for an eye “ but you both end us blind.
