Call for action – on organ donation!

Would you take an organ if you needed one? Nearly everyone would, but only one in four of us in Northern Ireland has joined the Organ Donor Register.In an effort to increase sign-up, the Public Health Agency (PHA) has teamed up with public sector union UNISON to promote a workplace initiative to encourage organ donation. With over 40,000 members, the partnership with UNISON provides an ideal opportunity to mobilise the workforce to boost the donor register.
