What To Do When Somebody Dies
If the death occurs at home you must contact the surgery immediately, as a doctor needs to confirm that death has taken place. Unfortunately, at this traumatic and upsetting time, there are several important things that need to be done (eg obtaining a death certificate, registering the death). If the death occurs in hospital, it would be helpful if you could let us know, as sometimes hospital correspondence takes a few days to reach us.
