HM Inspector of Anatomy for Scotland: annual report 2022-2023

Annual report to The Scottish Ministers, written by Professor Gordon Findlater, His Majesty's Inspector of Anatomy for Scotland, providing a resume of duties undertaken in the role during the period 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.


Conclusion

120. All departments are working well and are now back to functioning as they were pre-pandemic with the body donor programme back to what it was previously.

121. All staff should be commended for maintaining the high standard that they achieve with particular thanks to the Bequest Coordinators who have to deal with members of the public at a particularly difficult and sensitive time in their lives. They are invariably the first point of contact with a department and therefore fundamentally important in maintaining the success of the body donor programme.

122. Finally, I would like to thank the Scottish Government Burial and Cremation, Anatomy and Death Certification Team for their ongoing help and support over the past year.
