Coroners inquest, what to expect?
Discussion
Hi Guys,
On Tuesday, I am going to my late mothers inquest. The coroner has been great, as have all the associated staff, but I am still a little unsure about what to expect and what may/will happen. I would be grateful for any useful information and all positive responses.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Guys,
As a family, we made a formal complaint to the hospital in September when the problem occurred. Sadly mum died in October and the coroner decided an inquest was appropriate. I have sent the coroner a quite detailed report giving the facts from our side and our concerns. I received a letter in early February from the hospital, saying that they have concluded their investigation into our complaint and I would receive a copy after the departments concerned had been notified, I am still waiting! I have been interviewed by the coroners police officer and, as previously stated, have got copies of mums medical records from the hospital (at a cost of nearly £500),which I have read and made notes. I have got questions to ask the appropriate people and am now just hoping to get it over with ASAP.
I will update you when it is done. Thanks for all your help.

Hi Guys,
The inquest went reasonably well. The coroner was brilliant and explained the process really well. Due to the number of witnesses, it took a little longer than we expected but was very comprehensive. In the end we got a narrative verdict, which leaves us free to move to the next step, which we will discuss in the near future.
