British Heart Foundation – Getting to the heart of Max and Keira’s Law
Published on www.bhf.org.uk – 19th May 2020
On the 20th of May 2020, the organ donation in England moved move from a ‘opt in’ system to an ‘opt out’ system. This is following The Organ Donation Act passed on the 15th of March 2019. The time-lag between the Act being past and being put into force allowed the government’s public awareness campaign to raise awareness of the new system, giving people the time to have the conversations that they need. The Act is known as Max and Keira’s Law in honour of a 9 year old boy who received a heart transplant and the 9 year old girl who donated it.
