Abstract
For a paramedic, delivering a death notification (DN) is one of the most difficult and stressful messages they will have to communicate in practice. Stress and anxiety in both recipients and paramedics have been documented through a limited literature base. The current review seeks to understand the existing educational tools and training around DN, and evaluates the applicability of these in the pre-hospital environment.
