patient liasion service, all hospitals have them..they can point her in the right direction for more info..also, she might want to contact SANDS...who support families who have lost a baby ...

Patient Advocacy and Liaison Service. They can be really helpful. Every hospital should have one.
The consultant who gave them the PM results should have been willing to explain what it is though.
I am really sorry their baby died

And as lulu says, SANDs have a register at head office so they can match Befrienders with bereaved parents whose baby died of the same condition, wherever possible.
