Verification of death in a period of emergency
Dear Colleague
Please find a link below to the above guidance. Please can you circulate this guidance to all Clinical leads and cascade to out of hours providers. Please can you also ensure this is shared with your AO, and STP/ICS Primary Care leads for information.
This guidance is designed to clarify existing practice for the verification of death outside of hospitals and to provide a framework for safe verification of death in this coronavirus emergency period. It is to be applied in all cases outside hospital when verification of death may be completed by people who have been trained to do so in line with their employer's policies.
Kind Regards
