We expect the 1 to 1 meetings with to take place fortnight beginning 5th February 2024 over Teams. If you are interested, please send the names and email addresses of all who wish to attend to Theresa.king@norfolk.gov.uk an invite will be issued.

Digital Autopsy/CT Scanning is used as first line intervention as an alternative to traditional post-mortem examinations within Norfolk. Patients are scanned via a CT Scanner and images from the scan are then used by specially trained radiologists and coroners' pathologists to assist in ascertaining a cause of death. It is anticipated that a cause of death can be ascertained in approximately 75% of cases where patients have been scanned. This avoids the need to use the more traditional invasive approach to post mortem in these cases.
Please note we are currently only seeking expressions of interest and to inform you of the opportunity for market engagement. As such no documentation is currently available.
