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).

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.
