Unexpected deaths in patients known to Mental Health Services

Does anyone have examples of templates they use for reviewing unexpected deaths in the community of patients known to mental health services?

Hi @Catherine Evans, thank you for posing this question. Martin Langham is our topic leader for investigations, @MartinL any thoughts? 

Thanks Catherine for using the hub for this enquiry.

@PatientSafetyLearning Team Let's use this request to source as many tools and templates as we can!I've sent you through a few templates and reports that include templates to add to the hub. When they're on there can you reply to @Catherine Evans with the links please.

@Claire Cox @Mark Hughes Let's tweet the request and use this route too.

@cheryl crocker @Ursula Clarke Do the AHSN/PSCs have access to these, any suggestions?

Hi @HelenH, 

I'm been working on something similar at the moment. Are you able to share the templates that you've mentioned? 

Regards
