Diploma course in Management of the Dead

The course is organized in response to needs identified worldwide by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for tailor-made training on the management of the dead in armed conflict and catastrophes. The first three courses were organized in 2008, 2009 and 2010 by the ICRC jointly with Cameron Forensic Medical Sciences; Barts and The London; School of Medicine and Dentistry (QMUL); University of London. The positive evaluation received from the participants who attended the previous courses and the growing interest this course has since raised among relevant stakeholders worldwide prompted the organizers to launch a third edition in 2011. The Academy of Forensic Medical Sciences will from next year organise this course together with the ICRC. The purpose of the course is to offer participants an understanding and practical knowledge of the main aspects related to the management of the dead in armed conflicts and catastrophes, to help ensure their proper and dignified management, including consideration for the needs of bereaved families.
