Emergency & Preparedness
CBRN Mortuary Staff
APTs have a vital role to play as part of the forensic team in an incident mortuary by providing assistance not just to the pathologist but to all forensic experts and others involved in the process. Many mortuaries both NHS and Local Authority may currently be short staffed or function with the minimum number of staff.
In emergency situations workloads can be excessive and with a duty to maintain routine services, with minimum disruption, local resources may become overwhelmed. The AAPT, on behalf of UKDVI, maintains a register of APTs who can provide assistance as part of local or regional plans or nationally/internationally when requested by humanitarian / commercial organisations.
