Death referrals

All doctors’ referrals to the coroner’s office must be submitted online.

Please contact your practice manager for the surgery login details.

If your practice has not registered for the referral portal, please email coroner@reading.gov.uk for assistance.

Referral guidance

For advice and information please refer to your LMC guidelines, or read the government’s guidance.

Covid-19 is an accepted cause of death and does not need to be referred to the Coroner unless another referral criteria is met.

If you are unsure of whether a death needs to be referred, please see the Notification of Deaths Regulations (including coronavirus advice).
