Brain Donation FAQ's
Answer:
The best brain tissue for research comes from individuals who have had some clinical assessment during life. This will involve annual appointments with a trained support nurse. If you feel this is something you would like to do you will be asked to meet the doctor or research nurse from one of the centres to discuss this decision, and sign a post mortem consent form.
You will be given as much information as you require, and the opportunity to ask as many questions as you like. You may take as much time as you feel you need to consider your decision. If you decide brain donation is not for you, your decision will be respected and your care will not be influenced in any way.
