Diagnosing death using neurological criteria

We have temporarily removed the educational videos created by NHS Blood and Transplant showcasing diagnosing death using neurological criteria.

It is our hope to re-release the videos later in 2025 having updated the content to be consistent with the Academy’s updated 2025 Code of Practice.

The intention is the updated videos will continue to incorporate the filmed material of Mr Robert Williams (1962-2017). Mr William’s family kindly agreed to NHSBT filming him having a third set of tests of death using neurological criteria, knowing how passionate he was about teaching and helping others.
