Medical Examiner

5 months ago


Romford, United Kingdom Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

We are pleased to proceed with the appointment of two further Medical Examiners (MEs) working 1PA each, to support and expand this service across the Trust, based at King George and Queens Hospitals.

The ME role interacts with many departments (both within and outside the trust) and clinical specialities to provide proportionate but robust scrutiny of the medical circumstances leading up to the patients death and all medical aspects of death certification.

This includes reviewing the clinical notes, discussion with and supporting Clinicians, overseeing coronial referrals and providing medical advice for the Coroner. However, most importantly this provides independent support and transparent explanation to the bereaved, giving them the opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns.

At BHRUT, the ME work is carried out on site (and not remotely) at either Queens or King George hospital. Each of these two vacant posts is for 1 PA with no SPA allocation. This will be a on predetermined day of the week to comply with the existing rota. A rota for occasional working at the weekend will also be introduced in the near future.

The Medical Examiner Service at BHRUT is based cross site at Queens and King George Hospitals. When first introduced the service scrutinised hospital-based deaths but now this is extended to community deaths also. Currently the service operates between 08:00 am and 05:00pm, Monday to Friday.

Medical Examiner work part time for ME duties and continue to work in their principal speciality with a reduction in PA commitment.

Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.

Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.

As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change.

We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.

We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.

For further information, please refer to the job description and person specification attached to the vacancy.
