Confirming the cause of a death
Raising a concern about the cause of death
As the next of kin, the Medical Examiner Office will contact you by phone to explain the cause of death.
You will be given the opportunity to raise any questions or concerns about:
- the cause of death
- the care your relative received before their death
Any questions or concerns you raise will help identify concerns and improve care for patients and bereaved people.
You will also have the opportunity to give positive feedback about the care a patient has received. This helps identify good practice that can be shared with colleagues.
