The HTA publishes its revised Code of Practice F
This will reflect the introduction of deemed consent for organ and tissue donation in England
From today, the Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Act 2019 introduces a system of deemed consent for organ and tissue donation in England.
Under the new system (also known as an ‘opt-out system’) all adults can be considered as a possible organ and tissue donor when they die, unless they have recorded a decision not to donate or are in an excluded group.
To coincide with the new law being introduced, the HTA has today published a revised Code of Practice F: Donation of solid organs and tissue for transplantation.
