Death referrals

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

If your practice has not previously registered login details for the referral portal, please contact 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).
