Neonatal Death Bereavement Care Pathway

This document has been prepared to assist all healthcare professionals and staff who are involved in the care of parents of a baby who has

Two versions are available here – a longer document with much greater detail and a quick reference document which contains the same sections but in less detail.

These pathways were updated for use in England in September 2025. Please disregard previous versions.
