Ulster Hospital’s Café Connect brews conversation to mark Organ Donation Discussion Day
Visitors, patients and staff at the Ulster Hospital’s Café Connect filled up their daily brew with specially designed coffee and tea cups as part of Organ Donation Discussion Day.
The striking cups were launched to encourage conversations about organ donation, conversations that could save lives during end-of-life care.
South Eastern Trust, Specialist Nurse Organ Donation, Christine Young explained: “What we are trying to do, is to ask those who are coming into Café Connect, buying a coffee or a tea, to speak to their loved ones and their next of kin and ask what is their decision when it comes to end of life care and organ donation.
“Being in Café Connect in the Ulster Hospital, with our branded Organ Donation cups, is a way to encourage our staff to carry them around the hospital with the Organ Donation message on it.
"They are very eye catching and a QR code, when scanned will take you directly to the Organ Donation register site.”
