In the event of a bereavement, the first contact should be to the doctor or nurse who has been treating the person during their last illness. If the death happens out of normal working hours it may not be possible for the doctor to attend, an out of hours doctor or nurse should respond.
It may be that the death was expected and that the doctor does not feel it necessary to attend the house, however a person’s death must still be verified before we are able to bring your loved one into our care.
