Learn with us Training Courses Verification of death in adults Overview This two-hour workshop is to enable Registered Nurses who wish to take on the extended role of Verification of Expected Adult Death, or to update existing knowledge and skill within this role. The need for timely verification of death is widely recognised, to help relieve the anxiety and distress of families and to relieve the pressure of overstretched GPs and out of hours services. Timely verification - within one hour in a hospital setting and four hours in a community setting - is an important stage in the grieving process for relatives and a key time for support. Participants Registered Nurses only Methods Presentation, discussion, demonstration Learning outcomes At the end of this workshop, participants should be able to: To be able to discuss legal requirement and accountability To recognise the documentation process To be able to apply local policy / protocol to practice To demonstrate the required procedure to safely perform a physical assessment to confirm death on a mannequin To gain the theoretical knowledge required to proceed to an assessment in clinical practice We will provide a certificate of attendance only. This session will not check or sign off competencies of verifying a death; a local policy will need to be in place in your own workplace to ensure competencies are checked within a team.
