-- 'My Medical Choice' has introduced an online solution addressing inconsistencies in the UK's organ donation registration system. Their service provides legally binding Advance Decision Notices (ADNs) that supersede other medical records, including those maintained by the DVLA and NHS Organ Donor Register.

Many UK residents who previously opted out of organ donation have discovered they remain registered as donors on their driver's licenses through code 115, without their knowledge. This inconsistency raises questions about the reliability of the current opt-out system and the accuracy of donation records across multiple agencies.
The Medical Legal Protection System from 'My Medical Choice' resolves these issues through a streamlined online ADN process. Taking approximately 10 minutes to complete, the document becomes legally binding once witnessed and automatically notifies medical staff during emergencies, ensuring healthcare providers immediately recognise the individual's stated preferences.
"Our service guarantees that your medical choices receive proper legal protection," states 'My Medical Choice'. "The ADN becomes effective immediately and takes priority over records held in national databases or local doctor files."
The UK operates an opt-out system for organ donation across all four nations, meaning adults are considered potential donors unless they have explicitly opted out. This system was implemented at different times: Wales in 2015, England in 2020, Scotland in 2021, and Northern Ireland in 2023. While designed to increase donation rates, the system's effectiveness depends on accurate record-keeping across multiple agencies.
A particular concern involves driver's licenses, where code 115 indicates organ donor status. The DVLA partnership with NHS Blood and Transplant accounts for approximately 12.6 million registrations on the NHS Organ Donor Register, with around 50% of all new registrations coming through this channel each year. However, these records don't automatically sync with later opt-out decisions made through primary channels.
'My Medical Choice's' solution provides a definitive document that clearly establishes an individual's wishes regarding organ donation and other medical interventions. The system helps prevent situations where conflicting records might lead to confusion about a person's donation preferences.
The service also includes family member alerts, access to a screened blood donor network, guidance on alternative surgical procedures, and a National Hospital Procedures Database. These features form part of a comprehensive approach to ensuring medical autonomy and proper documentation of healthcare directives.
