- Recommendation ID
- CG135/5
- Question
- The experience of consenting for organ donation:- Does a positive experience of approach and process of consent for families increase consent rates?
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) - Why this is important:- It is generally accepted that if families have a more positive experience of the approach and process of consenting, then rates of consent will increase. However, no high-quality evidence was identified to support this perception. Further research is needed to confirm this assumption and, if true, to identify those components of the approach and process that are key to improving the experience, and hence the consent rate.
