Preface

Since this third volume of Essentials has been compiled the arena of autopsy prac-

tice is undoubtedly changing. For the ﬁrst time pathologists are beginning to opt

out of autopsy training which will reduce the number of practitioners and result in

centralisation of autopsy services. With the increase of knowledge, availability and

use of genetic testing the nature of autopsy examinations are changing and the

understanding of causes of death are evolving. New roles are evolving; new person-

nel are undertaking the jobs previously undertaken by the pathologist. Finally the

very need for an autopsy examination is being questioned and an alternative tech-

nique for example axial radiography is now being researched to see if this may

replace the need to undertake invasive autopsies. In this third volume in the series,

subjects have again been chosen to assist all involved in post-mortem, crime inves-

tigation and bereavement work, speciﬁcally in areas where information may not be

readily to hand, or in areas which may prove difﬁcult for interpretation and where

there have been advancements in practice over recent years. The book is again

designed to be of use to the trainee and consultant pathologist alike, be they a gen-

eralist or specialist as well as to nurses, paramedical personnel, bereavement ofﬁ-

cers, lawyers and police, and to reﬂect the changing world of autopsy practice. As

this series continues to evolves, each volume is intended for all involved with the

dead and post-mortem work and hopes to assist with keeping one up-to-date with

changing issues related to autopsy practice.
