Each year, the EDQM (Council of Europe) celebrates the European Day for Organ Donation and Transplantation (EODD) with the aim of drawing public attention to organ donation and transplantation. In 2019 the hosting country was the United Kingdom and the NHS Blood and Transplant organised an event centred on donation after circulatory death (DCD) and increasing donation from under-represented donors, with an emphasis specifically on Black and Asian donors in London.
The objective of this event was to share best practices and experience among organ donation organisations and transplantation professionals across Europe.
