Registered Nurse Verification of Death in Care Homes

We are in the process of surveying a range of professionals and care providers to ascertain their experience and any concerns/issues they are dealing with to ensure timely and dignified care after death by competent practitioners. Our aim is to produce a free electronic resource which will provide guidance and practical training material which will assist with carrying out verification of expected death regardless of setting.  

We would very much welcome hearing from you and your colleagues to inform this work and therefore invite you to complete a short Survey Monkey.  The closing date will be 17 June 2016.
 
Thank you very much for your time and input. We will delighted to send you a link to the product which hopefully will be ready by the summer
