Abstract

The culmination of the process of creating the Institutes of Legal Medicine (IML) with the commissioning of the IML of Madrid in 2020 homogenizes the competences of forensic medicine throughout the country. Recent legislative reforms in specialized medical training, expand their responsibilities to cover, in addition to the expert function, a stronger role in teaching and research. The design and implementation of quality systems must become a priority for IMLs in order to guarantee their effectiveness and efficiency by providing accurate, reliable and timely results. This article provides a detailed review of the procedure to be followed to design a quality strategy in Forensic Pathology Services.
