Medical Examiner

1 week ago


Bradford, Bradford, United Kingdom Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Medical Examiner Service was created by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in response to the Shipman Inquiry.

The purpose of the Medical Examiner Service is to provide independent oversight and safeguards for the scrutiny of all non-coronial deaths.


The Trust has an established Medical Examiner Office with 13 Medical Examiners and 3 Medical Examiner Officers and is looking to expand its Medical Examiner Office to include community deaths.

The Trust is looking to recruit General Practitioners and senior doctors to help support the expansion of the office prior to this becoming a statutory requirement in September 2024.


Applications are encouraged from General Practitioners and senior doctors of all specialties, particularly those with experience of working in the community and those who have a broad experience of health care settings to add to our current Medical Examiners.

Medical Examiners are senior medical doctors with 5 years post registration experience.

The Medical Examiners are responsible for the scrutiny of the medical records of all the deceased patients that are not referred to the coroner.

They discuss the proposed cause of death with clinical teams and they explain the cause of death to the bereaved families, and ascertain if there are any family concerns.

Medical Examiners can also help to identify whether a case requires referral to the Coroners Office.


Medical examiners (MEs) are appropriately trained (typically senior) doctors who will verify clinical information on Medical Certificates of Cause of Death (MCCDs) and ensure that the right referrals are made to the coroner for further investigation.

MEs will take a consistent approach to the formulation of MCCD content, which must be clinically accurate and reflect any discussions with the next of kin/informant.

MEs must not have been involved in the care of the deceased patients for deaths they scrutinise.


With the backing of the regional Lead Medical Examiner and local Coroner's Office there is a collaborative arrangement between Airedale NHS Foundation Trust and Bradford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Both Trusts will have a Lead ME (1.00PA each) and a number of MEs working between organisations.


At Bradford Teaching Hospitals, we are proud to be part of the Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership (BDCHCP).

In our local HCP we have a joint vision to act as one to keep people Happy, Healthy at Home.


We try to meet people where they are and work with them to access the tools and opportunities they need to enable them to live longer in good health.

Everyone in this partnership has a role to play in delivering this vision.


As a provider of hospital care and a large research and teaching organisation, we have a complementary vision at the Trust to be an outstanding provider of healthcare, research and education and a great place to work.


Through the delivery of this vision and by working with our local HCP partners to nurture our workforce and manage our finances and resources wisely, we can provide new and innovative services to address inequalities.


To ensure compliance with the legal and procedural requirements associated with the current and proposed reformed 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 the proposed national protocol.

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 where barriers to understanding information may exist.


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 records of all deaths scrutinised and undertake analysis to provide information to the National Medical Examiner's office.


To participate in relevant clinical governance activities relating to death certification including audits, mortality review processes and investigations regarding formal complaints about patient care.


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.


Support those doctors who call for medical advice on suspected natural causes of death before they prepare an MCCD, and provide general medical advice to the coroner.

Work with the any other local medical examiner(s) to arrange reciprocal cover for holidays and other perio
