Verification of Expected Death (For Nurses)

Verification of expected death is defined as deciding whether an individual is actually deceased, but there’s more to it. It’s also knowing the responsibilities of the doctor, supporting the bereaved and recognising when to seek support for you and your colleagues as well.

This course is aimed at registered nurses who may be working with individuals in end of life care or be expected to verify a death. It will help you to recognise when you are able to verify a death and when you’re not, what to do to verify a death and what is expected to happen afterwards.
