Crynodeb
Medical examiners (MEs) receive a combination of e-learning and face-to-face training via the Royal College of Pathologists, and are encouraged to take medical Examiner membership of the Royal College of Pathologists (RCPathME). It is recommended that MEs are consultant grade doctors from a range of disciplines (including GP principals). MEs will take a consistent approach to the formulation of MCCD content, which must be clinically accurate. MEs must be independent and not have been involved in the care of the deceased patients for deaths they scrutinise. They work as part of a team of Medical Examiners and Medical Examiners Officers. This position reports to the Trust Lead Medical Examiner, with dual accountability to both the Trust Medical Director, and the Regional Medical Examiner, and ultimately the National Medical Examiner. These roles are part-time and are to be performed as part of a job plan that contains clinical and other activities. Multiple PAs are available in this round of recruitment. Medical Examiners have a number of responsibilities including: To ensure compliance with the legal and procedural requirements associated with the current processes of certification, investigation by coroners and registration of deaths. To scrutinise the certified causes of death offered by attending doctors in a way that is proportionate, consistent and compliant with national guidance. To discuss and explain the cause of death with next of kin/informants in a transparent, tactful and sympathetic manner. It is anticipated that such discussions will be predominately conducted through telephone conversations. To ensure that all users of the ME system are treated with respect and are not discriminated against on the grounds of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender reassignment or disability. To maintain comprehensive, timely records of all deaths scrutinised, enabling analysis to provide information to healthcare providers and the National Medical Examiners office. To support the training of junior doctors in their understanding of death certification and promote good practice in accurate completion of MCCDs. To work with medical examiner officers (MEOs), delegating duties as appropriate. To adopt a collaborative working relationship with other MEs by sharing experiences and expertise to support peer learning and set uniform standards of service delivery. About You You must be a Medical Practitioner registered and licensed to practise in the UK by the GMC. You should have up-to-date knowledge of causes of death and an understanding of the legal frameworks associated with death certification processes. You will have good IT skills including use of email and commonly used software. You will have knowledge of the special requirements of various faith groups and respect for equality and diversity. You will have knowledge of local and national clinical governance systems and an understanding of how the ME can work collaboratively to improve patient safety by identifying sub-optimal clinical and organisational performance.
