Inquest Guidance and resources

Support for Doctors acting as Clinical Witnesses

Browne Jacobson has produced a “Mock Remote Inquest” in collaboration with Dr Robert Hunter, Senior Coroner, and Kathryn Fearn, Associate Director of Legal Services at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust.

The aim of this film is to help clinical witnesses to prepare for giving evidence remotely and to illustrate how best a witness can help the Coroner and the family during a remote inquest hearing.
