SAS doctor/ Consultant/ GP / Salaried GP
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and highly motivated medical clinician to join the Medical Examiner team, which is hosted by the University Hospital of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust.
The post holder will be part of the existing team providing a service to the local population of Morecambe Bay undertaking independent scrutiny of all non-coronial deaths.
In line with the pending statutory requirement, we are now expanding the Medical Examiner function to include community deaths as part of the wider Morecambe Bay learning from deaths mortality review process.
The Medical Examiner(s) are expected to screen and review deaths (from the preceding weekend or working day) and this will include liaising with the attending practitioners regarding cause of death and formulation of the MCCD, and with the Coroner where appropriate.
Following this review, cases are selected using the trust policy for further analysis using a Structured Judgement Review Process by the departmental team. If safety concerns are detected the Trust incident policy will be used for investigation of the concerns.
Further additional training may also be required to be undertaken as identified by the National Medical Examiners Office in order to fulfil the role.
The Medical Examiner will act as an independent reviewer of patient deaths, to ensure referrals to the coroner are appropriate, to review the Medical Certificates of Cause of Death (MCCDs) and liaise with the doctor or senior team members if there are any concerns regarding the cause of death offered. The role will also liaise with the bereaved relatives to highlight the cause of death and respond to any concerns.
We operate from three main hospitals - Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community health care premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.
FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.
WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
