Why is your GP Practice now unable to do everything they once were?

Many GP practices in Grampian are faced with unmanageable workloads coupled with a rapidly shrinking and exhausted workforce. The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a vast backlog of care which is so far largely unmeasured in General Practice. It is exerting increasing pressure on a wider system that is already at breaking point.

Organ Donation Scotland

The law around organ and tissue donation in Scotland is changing to an opt out system

This means that from 26 March 2021 if you die in the rare circumstances where you could become a donor and have not recorded a donation decision, you will be considered to have agreed to be a donor when you die, unless you have chosen to opt out.

Organ and tissue donation remain a personal decision and you have a choice.  It is important that you register your decision and the best way to do this is on the NHS Organ Donor Register.
