Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The NNUH is one of the largest NHS trusts in the UK, providing first-class acute care for around one million people, living in Norfolk and surrounding areas.
The Mortuary department forms part of the Cellular Pathology service, which also includes the Histopathology and Cytopathology laboratories in Norfolk. This is a busy and diverse service, which acts as both a Hospital and Public Mortuary. There are approximately 4000+ deceased patients per annum under the care of the Mortuary (including hospital/consented, HM Coroner’s referrals, neonatal, perinatal, paediatric and some forensic cases). Approximately 1,300 post-mortems are carried out each year. The service also carries out around 300 viewings and police identifications annually. The mortuary is a modern, well equipped service with fully trained APT staff operating a full spectrum of post mortem and bereavement services to the NNUH and the wider community patients requiring post mortem. We are currently working towards an expansion of the mortuary and potentially introduce CT autopsy processes in the future.

  • Play a key role in developing the staff and service.
  • Play a key role in the day-to-day management of the service.
