Following on from their synchronised dive into the deep end of oedema in Episode 14, Andy and Rach wade through the embalming management of the oedema case and cast their views on effective procedures for the pre, during and post embalming care of the fluid retentive deceased.

My last week as an operational embalmer for Co-op Funeralcare I’ve been part of this team for 11 years so it’s going to be bitter-sweet but I am very excited to begin my Embalming Excellence & Improvement Manager role! #ItsWhatWeDo

Today I got a wonderful thank you gift from someone I’ve mentored. Sometimes you don’t realise how much people value your support & kindness. One more day left in the operation, starting to feel quite emotional! #ItsWhatWeDo

Keys handed over, multiple WhatsApp groups left, tears cried and on to my next chapter! 💕 Goodbye operational embalmer role. Co-op Funeralcare Embalming Excellence & Improvement Manager here I come! #itswhatwedo

Margaritas & tacos! Perfect weekend 🌮

Day 1 of my new role, made it official by changing my Twitter bio 😆 #NewBeginnings

The husband & daughter looking way too cute 😍⚽️

Arrived in Liverpool on a very beautiful morning, ready to learn & share at the @AAPTTweets Annual Educational Event. #theeternaldebate #education #itswhatwedo

Open communication between APTs & hospital mortuary professionals with funeral professionals/embalmers is so important 🤝 #sharebestpractise #education #itswhatwedo

What a hectic weekend, we had an absolute blast at the Association of Anatomical Pathology Technology Annual Education Event 2022 in Liverpool. Thanks for having us & engaging with us and our presentation on The Deceased Journey - Beyond the Hospital Mortuary @AAPTTweets

Great session today, some similar challenges across hospital/city mortuaries and funeral homes. Co-op Funeralcare #itswhatwedo

We nearly have a 4 year old. Where has that time gone?!

Stayed in 3 hotels since Monday. Couldn’t believe how coincidental it is that I have the same room number here as yesterdays hotel. Only I don’t and I’ve just spent 5 mins aggressively trying to get into someone else’s room to the point they opened the door 🙈

10 years married, still milking it with more activities 💕

Today I ran a soft tissue restoration & cosmetics session with 3 of our embalmers. Skill in this area can sometimes be the only way to afford our families the chance to see their loved ones. They did amazing work - as you can see with Mike here! #itswhatwedo Co-op Funeralcare

Gone back to the blue hair 💙 #NewProfilePic

I’m grateful for my badge - I didn’t expect it as I was turned away due low iron (turns out I’m anaemic again). If you can, please give blood. It can be life-saving for those who need it. #giveblood NHS Blood Donation 🩸🩹
