Main Results:

The overall relative refusal rate for heart-beating solid organ donation was 41.5%.
Donor age and gender showed minimal impact on refusal rates.
Relatives from ethnic minority groups were over twice as likely to refuse consent compared to white potential donors' relatives.

Conclusions:

The potential donor audit provides valuable insights into organ donation barriers.
Ethnic background is a significant factor influencing consent for organ donation.
Targeted strategies are needed to address ethnic disparities in organ donation consent.
