Independent review of all non-coronial deaths

Posted on:

DHSC has published details of the statutory medical examiner system planned from April, including final draft regulations. The changes affect every healthcare provider with all deaths independently reviewed either by a medical examiner or a coroner. All healthcare providers including GP practices should establish processes for referring deaths to medical examiner offices. 

At the same time a new Medical Certificate of Cause of Death, which can be completed by a doctor who attended the deceased at any time, will be launched. Listen to this podcast about how medical examiners can support GPslisten to a podcast by the National Medical Examiner; and join a webinar on Wednesday 17 January.
