Medical Examiner Officer

2 weeks ago


Llanelli, United Kingdom NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an individual with nursing, clinical or allied healthcare experience to join the team of Medical Examiner Officers in North Wales. Across Wales, the existing Medical Examiner Officer team includes MEO’s from a variety of backgrounds including nursing, biomedical scientists, ODPs, clinical audit, paramedics and dietetics. Other suitable backgrounds will be considered but experience in a healthcare setting is essential.

Initial contracts will be for a fixed term of 12 months, or shorter, which will be dependent on the successful completion of work-based training.

The Medical Examiner Service is currently undergoing development as part of the national implementation of the Medical Examiner system in England and Wales.

Medical Examiners will carry out independent scrutiny of deaths in order to establish the correct cause of death, and identify cases where further investigation into the circumstances of that death is necessary. The role of the Medical Examiner Officer is to support Medical Examiners in their role in scrutinizing the circumstances and causes of death. This support will include:
Review and analyze information relating to the circumstances of death and care provided as documented in the medical and clinical records.

Discuss cases and assist in drawing up causes of death with the medical practitioners and Medical Examiners present.

Discussing with the bereaved and explaining the causes of death and identifying and gathering information relating to concerns.

Passing on the opinion and advice of the Medical Examiners to medical professionals, Coroner's offices, registration services and the bereaved.

Be a point of contact and source of advice for relatives of deceased patients, healthcare professionals and the Coroner and Registration Services regarding the role of the Medical Examiner.

At NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership we have high standards and expect everyone to embrace our values of Listening & Learning, Working Together, Taking Responsibility & Innovating, whilst ensuring trust, honesty and compassion are implicit in everything that we do.

We are adaptable, agile and flexible and pride ourselves on being a learning organisation - one where it is safe to make mistakes, where blame is replaced by opportunity, learning and improvement. Innovation is built into everything that we do.

We recognise our people regularly and have an Appreciation Station, to encourage staff to applaud exemplary behaviour in one another, alongside an Annual Staff Recognition Award ceremony aligned to our values.

We respect and value our people and strive for a culture of compassion and inclusivity. We are a bilingual organisation, and we have a team of Change Champions who advocate ‘This is Our NWSSP’ our principal change programme. Similarly, PROUD is our new staff network welcoming LGBT+ colleagues and allies to come together in a safe space for discussions, event planning and the opportunity to build supportive networks.

We have a comprehensive benefits package where there is something for everyone, supporting health, engagement and wellbeing and includes an Employee Assistance Programme. We have over 30 Mental Health First Aiders and work in partnership with local and national organisations to ensure the well-being and resilience of our people.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
