UKDEC is constituted to provide general advice and guidance. It cannot provide advice on individual cases in real time, this should be provided locally.

UKDEC was first established in January 2010. A short consultation exercise with key stakeholders identified a number of common ethical concerns.  From this the UKDEC drew up its first work programme.

UKDEC welcomes comments and contributions from anyone with an interest in organ donation and transplantation.  These can help to shape the work programme, and to ensure that guidance or comment from the Committee reflects issues of most importance to professionals and the public.

Contributions can be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
