Information for families and carers of loved one who have died either in our hospital or at home

The loss of a relative or a friend can be a difficult and confusing time and we would like to offer our sincere condolences.

This information should be provided in addition to our carer information booklet.

Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, some of our procedures in relation to care after death of a loved one are different and subject to change regularly. Therefore some of the information contained within the booklet may not currently apply.

Please do not attend the hospital if you are currently unwell with Covid-19 symptoms (fever & persistent cough) or are in self-isolation. The Bereavement Officer will contact you by telephone to discuss next steps.

Thank you for your patience at this time.
