This series will consist of four modules due to take place weekly on Tuesday 13 September, Tuesday 20 September, Tuesday 27 September and Tuesday 4 October.
This is an important training course for practising clinicians and any NHS professionals who would benefit from understanding the inquest process, including those working in clinical governance and risk, complaints, family liaison and in-house legal teams.
This virtual training course will provide essential knowledge, tools and insights delivered by the Senior Coroner for Derby and South Derbyshire and other legal experts.

The course also considers the wider implications of an inquest for the organisations and clinicians involved, looking at media coverage, compensation claims, disciplinary and professional implications.
The course is split into four modules, all delivered remotely:
