Swydd ddisgrifiad a phrif gyfrifoldebau manwl
In 2007, in response to the recommendations of the Shipman Inquiry, the Department of Health (DoH) called for reform of the current death certification process. Based upon the Inquiry’s findings, the DoH proposed that a new role of Medical Examiner be established within healthcare environments. Medical Examiners (MEs) are appropriately trained senior doctors who will verify clinical information on Medical Certificates of Cause of Death (MCCDs), to ensure appropriate referrals to the Coroner and accuracy and consistency of MCCD content. They will be responsible for the scrutiny of the documentation and circumstances arising from the majority of deaths in England and Wales.
