Course Information
Confirmation of Death training provides learners with a clear understanding of the processes, responsibilities, and legal considerations involved in formally confirming that death has occurred. The course explores how to recognise the established signs of death, the documentation and legal frameworks that underpin the procedure, and the essential principles of dignity, respect, and after‑death care.
Delegates develop the underpinning knowledge required to begin working towards competency in this area, supported by practical guidance that helps build confidence in applying the confirmation process safely and appropriately within their scope of practice.
