Lisa Smart is asking people to join the 20,447,799 people on the UK's organ donor register.

"More than 800 people have received a transplant since April 1st last year," says Lisa.

"Our doctors do a wonderful job but three people die every day waiting for an organ transplant, so talk to your family and join the organ donor register today even if you already carry a card." 

"The more people we can get to sign up the more chance those people have of surviving - I've signed up and you should too."

Local Doctor Mahendra Chopra says "It's great that Lisa is highlighting the issue of organ donation - there are 10,000 people in the UK in need of an organ transplant."
