    Navigating the complexities of organ donation: This week's episode of Let's Talk Preventative Healthcare explores the UK's opt-out organ donation system. Dr. Leah McLaughlin from Bangor University shares her insights from evaluating the opt-out system in Wales and England. We discuss the unexpected challenges faced by families during the donation process, explore how legislation can inadvertently introduce complexities, and discuss the ways to improve communication, public awareness, and ultimately, increase the life-saving gift of organ donation. We also compare the UK experience to that of Spain, which has achieved higher rates through a long-standing opt-out system and further societal factors.
