More than 140 people in Tayside have signed up to the NHS Organ Donor Register in just three days as part of a national campaign.
Staff were on hand at events in Dundee, Perth and Forfar to answer questions on organ donation and sign up those wishing to join the two million Scots who have already joined the register.
The tour is part of the campaign, which highlights how the seven words ”I’d like to be an organ donor” can save up to seven lives.
Around 600 Scots are waiting on a transplant.
To date, 43% of people living in the NHS Tayside Health Board region have expressed their wishes by adding their name to the register, higher than the Scottish average of over 40%.
The campaign is calling for more people to think about organ donation and make their wishes known.
NHS Tayside lead clinician for organ donation Dr Stephen Cole said: ”While people in Tayside have shown their commitment to organ donation more still needs to be done.
”I would urge everyone to think about organ donation today and ensure that their loved ones know what their wishes would be should the worst happen.”
The NHS Organ Donor Register can be joined at organdonationscotland.org or by texting LIFE to 61611.
