rowan is correct - there are at least two schemes dovetailled and at least part can be assigned.
the widow or assignee ( or widower) also benefits from the life insurance element
A lump sum of twice your relevant earnings in the last 12 months or revalued relevant earnings in one of the last 10 years (if higher) is payable directly to your widow/widower/civil partner/nominated partner in the event of your death whilst still contributing to the NHS pension scheme.

I think it unlikely that a person has to be named to be the recipient, otherwise no pension is paid.
Of the pension schemes I have been a member of, the reason for an ‘expression of wish form’ to be completed is that the trustees of the scheme are then aware of whom you would like the money to be paid to, in the event of your death. But they are not bound by this; if you requested it to go to Battersea Dogs Home, it is highly likely any surviving spouse would successfully challenge this (IMHO).
I agree with Hymie. All the schemes I've known have included a widow's/widower's benefits (subject to some rules/limitations like got to be dependent on the other or not a 67 year old man marrying a 18 year old girl). It just makes things so much easier if the trustees don't have to try to trace the husband/wife or other beneficiary like a lifepartner, civil partner or dependent child
