DHSC takes to Twitter to canvas public opinion on organ donation

Department uses social-media conversation as part of consultation on potential move to opt-out model

The Department of Health and Social Care has revealed how a day of tweeting helped it get a handle on public attitudes to organ donation. 

In December, the government launched a public consultation on the possible introduction of an opt-out system for consenting to organ donation. Recognising that “getting the whole of England to respond to a consultation is tough”, the health department decided to stage a Twitter debate on Thursday 22 February. 

“[We were] keen to make sure we didn’t just talk about the organ-donation system as it is now. We wanted this discussion not to just be the team sharing information about opt-out – it needed to be bigger than that,” the department said. “We started by reaching out to different organisations and key influencers about getting involved in the debate.”

Ahead of the debate, the DHSC digital team prepared blogs and graphics to help prompt conversation, and considered questions that might crop up during the day. A hashtag – #talkorgandonation – was also established, to help people join the conversation.

The hashtag was used in more than 100 tweets from 56 accounts, and up 1.4 million other accounts were reached as a result of the debate. 

The department added: “The consultation ended on 6 March, and in total we had 17,150 responses. One day of tweets, 56 accounts and the prompt to #talkorgandonation helped government hear what 196 people had to say on organ donation. It isn’t every Thursday that that happens.”
