In Times of Bereavement
In the unfortunate event that a person has passed away, there are some things that must be done in the first few days. View the step by step guide on the UK Government website.
Death Certificates
As a GP practice, we cannot register a death or provide a death certificate.
When someone passes away in the community
Once the practice has been informed of someone's passing in the community, we send all relevant clinical information to the community medical examiner (CME). Unless there are discrepancies in the information we have provided to the CME, we have no further involvement in the death registration process.
When someone passes away in a hospital/hospice
If someone passes away in a hospital or hospice, the practice has no involvement in the registration of the death or the death certificate.
See the local and national support information below if you would like more support regarding the bereavement process or support in coping with your bereavement.
