However, there is a universal shortage of deceased donors, prompting different approaches to increase transplantation rates. Within the UK, the Clinical Lead for Organ Donation and Specialist Nurse in Organ Donation undertake a key role in the implementation of the Organ Donation Strategy. The Human Transplantation (Wales) Act 2015 is a recent development which facilities a deemed (presumed) consent approach to organ donation, the Specialist Nurse in Organ Donation undertakes a major role identifying the potential donor in this situation by confirming the deemed consent status of the donor and supporting bereaved relatives. UK governments in England and Scotland are currently seeking legislative changes to an opt\u2010out system of organ donation, in line with the Wales change.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>This discursive paper explores the role from Donor Transplant Co\u2010ordinator to Specialist Nurse in Organ Donation (SN\u2010OD) within organ donation policy in different settings, but with a specific focus on the UK.
