Today is World Organ Donation Day! 💗

Join us to celebrate the life-saving impact of organ donation and remember the donors and their families who make it all possible.

More people than ever before are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant in the UK – but donor and transplant numbers have fallen. The stark reality is that over 8,000 people, including 276 children, were on the active transplant waiting list as of 31 March 2025 – the highest number on record.

Confirming your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register takes just 2 minutes and you could save up to 9 lives. It's the best thing you'll do today.

Survey to Support Service Development📄

Earlier this year, Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB held a series of workshops to gather insights from individuals with lived experience of ADHD. Since then, we have been developing some of the ideas that emerged from these sessions and are now seeking feedback on how effective these initiatives might be in practice.

If you know any patients who would like to have a say and contribute to shaping these services, please encourage them to complete the following survey: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/t/ADHDadult/. 👈

Their input will be invaluable in guiding future developments.
