Verification of Adult Death Policy (P51)
When a person dies, a number of steps need to be completed to allow legal registration of the death and for a funeral to take place: 1. Confirmation of the fact of death. 2. Certification of the medical cause of death or referral to the Coroner. 3. Registration of the Death. Obtaining a burial or cremation order. The aim of this policy is to provide a framework for the timely verification of adult deaths by competent registered clinicians. It will enable staff to care appropriately for the deceased and minimise distress for families and carers following a death. Timely verification – within one hour in a hospital setting and within four hours in a community setting – is an important stage in the grieving process for relatives and carers and also a key time for support (Wilson et al, 2017).

Learning from Death’s Policy (P72)
This policy confirms the process to ensure a multi-disciplinary, consistent and coordinated approach for the review of deaths that occur in all DCHS in-patient and community team caseloads. The aim of the learning from deaths process is to identify any areas of practice both specific to the individual case and beyond that could potentially be improved, based upon peer group review. Areas of good practice are also identified and supported. To describe in detail the three-stage mortality review process within the Trust, detailing how reviews should be completed, by whom and when to ensure that learning from deaths is made a Trust priority and leads to developments and improvements in patient care.
