Torquay, United Kingdom Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust Full time

TSDFT is looking to recruit an enthusiastic and highly motivated Medical Examiner Officer.

The role of the Medical Examiner Officer is to support medical examiners and the Senior Medical Examiner Officer in their role in scrutinising the circumstances and causes of death, and to be a point of contact for coroner and registration services. They will also be a source of advice for relatives of deceased patients, healthcare professionals and the bereavement service.

The Medical Examiner Officer role is anticipated to be hugely rewarding and will improve personal skills for the successful applicant. It is also a highly responsible and involved role and will require a dedicated and driven applicant.

The Medical Examiners Office is an independent service hosted by Torbay Hospital. The team consists of Medical Examiner Officers who support the Medical Examiner with the focus of

providing greater safeguards for the public by ensuring proper scrutiny of all non - coronial deaths

ensuring the appropriate referral of deaths to the coroner

providing a better service for the bereaved and an opportunity for them to raise any concerns to a Doctor not involved in the care of the deceased

improving the quality of death certification

improving the quality of mortality data

Medical Examiner Officers will undergo formal training appropriate to the role, as stipulated by the Royal College of Pathologists, and will continue to train on the job as part of a lifelong learning role.

Why Work With Us

The role will involve not only working closely with the Medical Examiners in their independent scrutiny of deaths, but also with the physicians caring for patients in order to determine that deaths are appropriately recorded and in a timely fashion, and communicating the recorded causes of death with relatives of the bereaved. This role will incorporate administrative skills in ensuring necessary paperwork is accurate and complete, but also excellent communication skills during liaison with the multidisciplinary team, families, and where appropriate, the Coroners' services. Part of the day to day work will also involve investigation work and perusal of patient notes.
