Description

University Hospitals of Leicester, Mortuary Service cares for approximately six and a half thousand patients each year and is capable of accommodating up to seven hundred patients simultaneously.

We performed over two thousand Post-mortems last year, this included Adult, Perinatal, Paediatric, Hospital, Coronial and Forensic examinations.

We received referrals, from across the Midlands, for Coronial Paediatric, Bariatric and Patients with Group Three Pathogens, including prion disease.

We have been at the forefront of developing CT as a non-invasive diagnostic alternative to invasive post-mortem for a number of years and currently derive a cause of death using CT on approximately eighty five percent of Coronial post-mortems.

We advocate external only and limited examinations where possible and also perform clinical intervention as preparation for angiograms.
