    Abstract Here, we report the pathological findings of nine complete autopsies of individuals who died in community settings in the UK, three of which were positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), three tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 but are likely false negatives, and three died of other respiratory infections. Autopsy revealed firm, consolidated lungs or lobar pneumonia. Histology of the lungs showed changes of diffuse alveolar damage with fibrin membrane formation, thickened alveolar walls and interstitium with lymphocytic infiltrate, and type 2 pneumocyte hyperplasia with shedding into the alveolar space. This series is the first in the world to describe autopsy findings in individuals dying suddenly in the community, not previously known to have COVID-19 infection, and the first autopsy series in the UK. During a time when testing in the UK is currently primarily offered to patients in hospital or symptomatic key workers, with limited testing available in community settings, it highlights the importance of testing for COVID-19 at autopsy. Two deaths occurred in care homes where a diagnosis of COVID-19 allowed the health protection team to provide support in that 'closed setting' to reduce the risks of onward transmission. This work highlights the need for frequent COVID-19 testing in the management of patients in community settings. Comprehensive virology and microbiology assessment is pivotal to correctly identify the cause of death, including those due to COVID-19 infection, and to derive accurate death statistics.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the lived experiences of doctors from minority ethnic (ME) backgrounds during postgraduate medical training, in particular their experiences of discrimination (if any); any impact of intersectionality and perceptions on how ME doctors may be better supported in their learning and working environments.
    Design: This was a qualitative study grounded in social constructivism, using semi-structured online individual interviews as the data collection method and an exploratory thematic analysis process.
    Setting: Participants were recruited from postgraduate specialist medical training programmes within one Deanery (Scotland Deanery) in the UK.
    Participants: Fourteen doctors in postgraduate medical specialist training, who self-identified as being from a ME background, were recruited into the study.
    Results: Doctors from ME backgrounds faced:
    Conclusions: Focused interventions to address unjust systems as well as improve intercultural awareness and understanding between all doctors may help to address some of the current inequities in medical education. Any such interventions require appropriate evaluation to determine their efficacy.

ME doctors faced challenges in earning others’ trust and experienced microaggressions and exclusion behaviours that affected their self-confidence. Impacts on identity and sense of belonging, with perceived challenges in being understood across diverse cultures. Doctors felt negatively pre-judged (by patients and colleagues), with additional challenges of being pre-judged in contexts of intersectionality; and ME doctors felt they needed to conceal parts of their identity in order to assimilate. Unjust systems—a playing field that is not level, where doctors felt unsupported and unable to effectively report/challenge discrimination. ME doctors perceived a lack of appropriate adjustments to the learning environment (e.g., fuller orientation) as well as inequitable processes (e.g., job and academic opportunities for those requiring visas).Conclusions Focused interventions to address unjust systems as well as improve intercultural awareness and understanding between all doctors may help to address some of the current inequities in medical education.

    Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-coronavirus-2 (CoV-2) outbreak in Wuhan, China has now spread to many countries across the world including the UK with an increasing death toll. This will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related deaths at autopsy. The Royal College of Pathologists has responded to this concern with the release of a briefing on autopsy practice relating to COVID-19. The following article is a summary and interpretation of these guidelines. It includes a description of hazard group 3 organisms, the category to which SARS-CoV-2 has been assigned, a brief description of what is currently known about the pathological and autopsy findings in COVID-19, a summary of the recommendations for conducting autopsies in suspected COVID-19 cases and the techniques for making the diagnosis at autopsy. It concludes by considering the clinicopathological correlation and notification of such cases.
