Doctors face new laws on reporting deaths to coroners
AAPT President Dr Michael Osborn quoted in the HSJ
New laws will come into effect tomorrow requiring doctors to report deaths to coroners for the first time in a bid to modernise the death reporting process in England and Wales.
Until now, doctors were under no formal obligation to report a death to a coroner, while many local coroners operated their own guidance for doctors.
