It’s #SouthAsianHeritageMonth! This year's theme is 'Free to be me'. Join us in celebrating the contributions that people of South Asian heritage have made through organ donation, giving others the freedom to be themselves. Find out more: orlo.uk/8Kf6Q
Graphic featuring a smiling couple, Jay and Sina, who wanted to help others when their son, Aari, died at age three. Aari donated seven of his organs. The poster encourages confirming your decision to be an organ donor with the text, "Confirm your decision to be an organ donor. It’s the best thing you’ll do today." The NHS logo is displayed in the top right corner. A message at the bottom says, "2 minutes now could save up to 9 lives," and provides the website address organdonation.nhs.uk. There is also a logo for South Asian Heritage Month and a heart-shaped logo with the text "Yes I donate."

Congratulations to everyone in the renal team and many thanks from LAKPA for the amazing response to the Bedford incident. Best wishes.

The Bedford and Lister Renal Units 🙌 When an issue was identified, the team were flexible with their work locations and shift patterns – collaborating to ensure an excellent and safe service was provided and renal patient’s dialysis treatment was still delivered on time! 💙

‼️ Ethnicity plays a vital role in organ donation and transplantation. Our annual ethnicity report, published today, analyses information related to ethnic minority groups in the UK and charts what progress is being made. Here’s a summary of findings ➡️ orlo.uk/sg1Ls
A graphic shows two arrows side by side - the left arrow is small and purple containing '7.1%' and the right arrow is larger and pink containing '11.7%'. Text next to the illustration says: "The proportion of opt-in registrations from ethnic minority groups added to the NHS Organ Donor Register has increased from 7.1% of opt-ins with ethnicity reported in 2018/19 to 11.7% in 2022/23.
