Inquests into Deaths in Care Homes & Healthcare Settings

Introduction

Inquests into deaths in healthcare and care homes have always been a particularly sensitive topic: at their heart is a person who has passed away whilst in an institution designed to care for them.

Whether representing the deceased’s family, or those who were responsible for their care, it is important for the practitioner to be fully aware of the issues and guidance in this area.
