    AbstractA coroner's inquest is the most likely court a district nurse is going to be required to attend during the course of their career. Courts and inquests remain shrouded in the rituals and traditions of the legal system and appearing at an inquest can be a daunting experience. It is important that district nurses are aware of the role and function of an inquest including, the types of death that require an inquest, the conduct of an inquest and the role of witnesses before and during the inquest. In this way you will be better prepared to fulfil your role as a witness and contribute effectively to the coronial process.
