36My relative wants to be a donor. What do I need to do when they die?

Inform the healthcare professionals who are involved either with your relative’s care or are helping you in the immediate period following their death (this could be a member of the hospital staff, a police officer, coroner’s officer, Procurator Fiscal or GP) that they wanted to donate. The earlier you are able to tell staff, the more likely it is that donation can take place.
