New year, New blog!

I wanted my first post to be about something i am really interested in, the topic of organ donation.
It's not debatable that organ donation is essential for the maintenance of the health in this nation but the methods of persuading the general public to sign on to the register need to be vastly improved in order to reduce the 10000 strong waiting list and to put a stop to the unbelievable 1000 per year death rate of these people. With money becoming a more and more greater part of the way the NHS runs, organ donation is the financially attractive solution to a lot of problems, 1 kidney transplant saves the NHS on average £214k.

That's not to say nothing has been done about it already, there has been many public campaigns targetting the issue through many different mediums http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX7D4QzAVGo&feature=player_embedded
