We believe that patients and families will have more confidence that their wishes will be respected, that organs and tissue used in treatment will be safe and high quality; and that tissue used for research or other purposes will be put to the best possible use, if they know there is regulation of human tissue and organs. By fostering an environment of trust, we hope more people will donate their tissue for scientific and medical research, their organs for transplants, and their bodies for medical education and training. On that basis, we can help healthcare to flourish. We regulate organisations that remove, store and use tissue for research, medical treatment, post-mortem examination, teaching and display in public. We also give approval for organ and bone marrow donations from living people.
