Target learners: All clinical and non-clinicians involved in after death care of Covid-19 patients and their families 

This is one of a series of educational resources aimed at helping you and your colleagues understand and implement different parts of the Somerset Covid-19 plans for end of life.

• Process immediately after death
• MCCD, medical certificate of cause of death
• Registering the death
• Notification of COVID-19 deaths
• Changes to cremation process
• Spiritual care – local support
• Bereavement care – local support

Verification of death is addressed in a separate video tutorial
