Specialist Post Mortem Examinations
Brain Donation
Research into Rett syndrome can
greatly benefit from a specialist post mortem for brain donation.
Information packs are available from our office.
If you wish to plan in advance
to give consent for a donation, or to arrange a specialist post mortem
examination immediately (whether or not you have made a prior arrangement)
please get in touch with:
Dr Claire Troakes
(Co-ordinator) or Richard Hudspith (Administrator) at the Brain Bank 020
7848 0290 Monday -Friday 9 - 5.
If out of working hours or at
weekends, phone 020 7848 0002 (Institute of Psychiatry) and ask for Brain
Bank staff to be contacted.
Please note that the Brain Bank
is unable to make post-mortem arrangements until the next working day;
however, they may still be contacted for out of hours information and
advice.
Please
remember that, although a post mortem is of most value within 24 hours of
the person's death, it is still of considerable benefit if it takes place
within 72 hours.
