Service Spotlight: Mortuary Team at West Hertfordshire
Second installment of the RCPath Service Spotlight series focuses on a mortuary
Post mortems are crucial to understanding why people die and are vitally important in advancing our understanding of disease. When someone dies, it can be a very difficult, distressing and confusing time for their friends and family.
The RCPath sets high standards for post-mortem examinations, which include carrying out the post mortem in a respectful manner and with regard for the feelings of the bereaved relatives.
